*A note from Jessica White, Blooding Mask Manager at I.A.P. UK:
Whoever claims to be linked to Blooding Mask in any shape of form, unless clearly linked on the Blooding Mask’s website is actually a liar and therefore full of shit. We are aware of individuals claiming to have Blooding Mask guest in their studios, to sell so called limited editions or even worse, claiming to have some rights pending on one or more albums of Blooding Mask: we invite you to give them no credit as they’re clearly uncapable of building their own reputation on their own forces, and to report them to us. If in doubt, please get in touch with me at bmmanagement(at)maethelyiah.com.
Thank you.

Influences
Maethelyiah is deep into Ancient Egyptian magic and musically speaking she loves Danny Elfman as a contemporary artist, Ennio Morricone and goes mad for Mozart, Tchaikowsky, the Russian Choirs, Monteverdi, anything classic and deep is quite in her mind and heart ;). She dies literally for Pink Floyd, goes mad for David Bowie and a good part of her inspiration in "The 5 Monsters" came from the "Hannibal" sequel’s interpretation of Anthony Hopkins that she adores to pieces.
Awen-Hotep’s druidic influence comes from his deep respect for the nature and the interaction with its elements. He’s got a huge collection of books, anything he touches turns to gold as he’s got an extreme creativity for carving wood. Also His musical inspirations embrace the 70s classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Kinks.

Sounds Like
This is though.
I am not going to write what some previous labels wrote, such as comparisons to Diamanda Galas, Dead Can Dance and other excellent artists like them.
Blooding Mask is unique and miles away from anything you have heard so far. Any reference to the above artists et similia sounds inaccurate and I want to make this clear to avoid possible confusion.
The main characteristics of the Blooding sound come from the fact that most of the tracks were conceived in REM; some of them contain magic rituals; the lyrics are written in many languages such as Italian, German, French, Latin, Theban, Rumanian and recently some Russian inspiration along with english.
Blooding Mask sounds like the perfect soundtrack for horror, drama, suspense films.
Please check the Blooding Mask’s website to read the full biography, find out what inspired Maethelyiah’s in this introspective trip!
The website is in English and Italian, but should you require more info, then please feel free to contact me.
Anybody who wishes to contact Maethelyiah directely, please drop a message here and I will give you a contact where she can pick up your message. I cannot guarantee a (quick) reply, but I am sure she does her best to reply to your messages.

Hi Maethelyiah, thanks very much for the add, i am a very long time fan of Blooding Mask (from all the colours.. and what that hollow.. period) i have these 2 cds without bonus tracks (grrr) what about Gianmarco now, what is he doing ? Greetings from France
Hello Blooding Mask. I uploaded another track from the album «Symbiosis of Contradictions». That small ambient song called “Weather in Numbers” is the soundtrack for the today’s sky outside my window. Just a weak sunshine behind the grey clouds. Hope you will like it! /Ivan
It has been six months since THE DIABOLIKAL SUPER-KRIMINAL carrying out and despite the praise of public and critical journalists,it has not yet found the favour of DVD publishing houses and televisions who have judged it as a product "too wierd"! Fortunately, the new and thriving universe of WEB-TV thinks differently and WWW. MAGAZZINIMUSICALI. IT buy a mass broadcast of the Italian 52 minutes version of the documentary on SADISTIK: Then do not miss the appointment for this new version only Wednesday, May 7 2008 at 09:30 pm simultaneously on WWW. MAGAZZINIMUSICALI. IT, WWW. MYSPACE. COM/MAGAZZINIMUSICALI and WWW. MOGULUS. COM/MAGAZZINIMUSICALI there will be no replicas!
