KIRA

Bio

KIRA is the harsh noise/HNW project of recording artist Vincent Ceraso, based in Sewell, New Jersey, USA. The debut self-titled demo was released on October 7th, 2015. What started out as strictly harsh noise wall soon began focusing more on harsh noise and drone, but still keeping in touch with traditional HNW. The KIRA albums usually consist of one to three or more tracks, and are often times written as concept albums. Influences include Prurient, Vomir, Merzbow and Full of Hell.

To date, KIRA has done splits with noise acts such as See Through Buildings, Verruckt, Koobaatoo Asparagus and MOYO.

On February 5th, 2016, the very first KIRA full-length LP "Modernism Tragedy" was released, and due to the success of it, a follow-up full-length record "The Human Condition" was released on July 1st, 2016.

On May 12th, 2017, KIRA released "KIRA III." After that, the project went on hiatus for over a year until June 2018, when KIRA released "it's better to live in solitude." via Bandcamp. It was announced via Facebook that KIRA would be going back to its roots and "would only be strictly HNW from this moment forward."
