Kaliyuga by In Hearts Wake
Australia’s In Hearts Wake are a mighty band on an urgent mission. Long time champions of the earth, IHW’s last 3 albums all debuted in the Top 5 of the ARIA charts with each album themed around the natural elements that make life here possible. Earthwalker explored the element of Earth, Skydancer — Air, Ark — Water. It is uncanny that their 2020 record KALIYUGA, would be born of Fire, inspired and bookended by the devastating fires that occurred in California and Australia throughout 2018 and 2019.
The power and purpose behind their fifth album KALIYUGA is evident in every facet of its making. In the album’s cover art, an iconic ten-armed mother-goddess protects a baby in a gasmask. She fixes us with her fierce gaze, daring us to rise up to the best in ourselves and grow beyond outworn ways of doing things. KALIYUGA is geared for inciting widespread positive action and breaking new ground in order to tackle the most pressing crises on the planet today. This is infectious and inspiring conscious heavy music for these times.
