In ancient Greek, “Hecatomb” is the word for “large-scale sacrifice or slaughter”; in Audion’s (Matthew Dear’s alias) universe, it’s a live audio/visual experience like no other. Hecatomb is a dazzling & gorgeous assault of light that spins & twists into the ether. Musically, it’s the new live Audion–a relentless percussive onslaught that will leave you breathless. A whirlwind of light & sound, Hecatomb was created by longtime Audion art director Will Calcutt & renowned artist Eno Henze. Check out the tiny tease above which was filmed at Fabric in London. Kudos to David Terranova, who created the video.

Hecatomb wowed crowds at European festivals & clubs all summer – now, after blazing through Japan & Australia, the spectacle hits the US & Canada. This Friday, Audion takes N. America by storm with 9 exclusive Hecatomb shows… San Fransico you’re 1st. All dates after the jump.
