The first-ever Black Yo)))ga CD/DVD package, Asanas Ritual Vol. 1, will be released by Screaming Crow Records on October 30, 2015. The DVD on its own will be released in January.

Black Yo)))ga is vinyasa-style yoga that is set to drone, noise, stoner metal, ambient, industrial, space doom or other types of meditation music. It was created by certified yoga instructor Kimee Massie and uses basic poses in a relaxed environment with a focus on safe body movements.

Asanas Ritual Vol. 1 was performed and created by a group led by Massie’s husband, Scott. There was involvement from Storm King, Veniculture, Agnes Wired For Sound, Moonstation Burning, Vulture, Deathcrawl, Complete Failure, Hero Destroyed, Filth On Demand, Secant Prime, Emay, Crown Of Eternity and Torrential Bleeding.

The DVD part of the package was directed by Joseph Stammerjohn of Eyes To The Sky Films. It contains a one-hour instructional yoga class set to the score featured on the CD. You can stream the full album below or buy it on Bandcamp.

Black Yo)))ga is particularly useful for those suffering from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drug addiction, trauma/PTSD and phobias, and people who need the relaxation of yoga but don’t feel that they fit into the average yoga class. It is essentially traditional yoga, but much darker than the popular Western-style yoga that most people know about.
