STREGA BEATA

STREGA BEATA named one of The Quietus Albums Of The Year So Far

“Sam An welds a fury of noise and pain into some remarkably compelling shapes” - The Quietus

“A certain ambiguous blend of existential exhaustion and formidable feminine power.” - **** Record Collector

“Sam An channels the world-razing sorrow of her subject matter into something potent, terrifying and beautiful, fashioning a true sonic one-off that lives, breathes and perpetuates its own dark magic.” 8/10 - Metal Hammer

STREGA BEATA is the 3rd full-length album from Sam An’s dark electronic, genre-bridging solo project under the semi-notorious moniker Lana Del Rabies. After a brief hiatus, this record is her first full-length release since the gothic, industrial noise of 2018's Shadow World, STREGA BEATA, which loosely translates to "Blessed Witch,"  is an apocalyptic myth told through dense, textural compositions pulling from the vast corners of dark genre music.

STREGA BEATA is available to stream, on 2XLP/CD/Digital through Gilgongo Records.

Becoming Everything: STREGA BEATA Remixed

Available on Digital/Streaming and Bandcamp.

Shadow World

"Shadow World's muscular maximalism is a considerable step forward" - The Wire

"Shadow World offers an unflinching blend of punishing rhythms and unsettling vocals – revealing darkness and a personal intensity, equally on display.

Its repetitive dissonance and uncomfortably pure catharsis shares a beautiful expression of honesty cut clearly through the noise." -Brant Showers, I Die You Die

Released by Deathbomb Arc in 2018.

Available on all major streaming platforms, Bandcamp, & cassette.


Such Belongs The Kingdom (EP)

Self Released 2018.

B-Sides and Covers.

In The End I Am A  Beast

In The End I Am A Beast

“…a sensorial passion for modern horror soundtracks, to construct a terrifying collection of sonic hauntings.” - The Wire

"Blasts of noise cover abrasive drums before syruping her vocals. Imagine the darkest side of shoegaze...In the End I Am a Beast sneers with all of the seething emotion of a scorn(ed) woman. She doesn’t have to roar. The melodic blasts do the roaring for her." -Chris Bynes, I Heart Noise

Released by Deathbomb Arc in 2016.

Available on all major streaming platforms, Bandcamp, & cassette.

ABOUT LANA DEL RABIES

Photo by Michael Olivias

Lana Del Rabies, conceived by Phoenix artist Sam An, is a captivating force in underground dark electronic and fringe heavy music. Merging industrial, gothic noise, and metal with experimental elements, Lana Del Rabies explores the esoteric brutality of what it means to be human in a world consumed by the threat of apocalypse. She is known for her intense and immersing live performances that hold the audience in captive catharsis. 

Her first two albums, "In The End I Am A Beast" and "Shadow World," released by Los Angeles label Deathbomb Arc, showcase Lana Del Rabies' futuristic goth sound, addressing American society's growing PTSD with a stark, spectral voice.

Her third album, "STREGA BEATA," on Gilgongo Records, has earned acclaim from The Quietus, Metal Hammer, DJ Mag, and more. Described as constructively destructive, Lana Del Rabies' music outcries from beyond,, with surprising melodic and melancholic  moments emerging from the noise and anguish.

Praised by critics for her unique blend of quietly macabre and wildly maximalist music, Lana Del Rabies' sonic journey, is a potent, beautiful, and darkly transcendent experience.

"The monster she’s created is constructively destructive, barking catharsis from the echoey dungeon, though out of the melee of noise and pain arise surprising caches of mellifluousness." - The Quietus


"There's nobody else who makes such hellish, cacophonous and utterly magnificent music as hers." - DJ Mag

“A certain ambiguous blend of existential exhaustion and formidable feminine power.” - **** Record Collector

“Sam An channels the world-razing sorrow of her subject matter into something potent, terrifying and beautiful, fashioning a true sonic one-off that lives, breathes and perpetuates its own dark magic.” 8/10 - Metal Hammer
