Of Terror and Soul

The year is 2025, thirty years after the debut album, the band launched “Of Terror and Soul” – a work representing the pinnacle of the band’s artistic journey. The album was recorded at Masterpiece Recording Art Studio by Avi Zadkani and Kostya Spivakov, with mixing and mastering done by Zohar Hanuka. The impressive cover design and accompanying booklet were created by the renowned artist Seth from the band SepticFlesh.

The band lineup for the album included:
– Avi Zadkani – Lead vocals and rhythm guitar
– Atalia Emily Shoroki – Vocals
– Leon Vasserman – Lead guitar
– Uri Jeffrey – Bass guitar
– Kostya Spivakov – Drums

The album, consisting of nine songs, presents a personal, painful, and ultimately hopeful musical journey. It deals with themes of resilience, introspection, and human experiences during challenges, leading the listener on an emotional journey from the peaks of ecstasy to the depths of sorrow, while maintaining an undercurrent of hope.

The musical journey moves from “Lust For Power,” which exposes the manipulations of those in power, through “Impending Doom,” documenting the power of human survival, and “Hope,” bringing the first light. It continues through the deep pain of “Sleep My Dearest,” the defiance of “Crazy Dogma,” and the awakening call of “Your Only Life.” The album concludes with “Korban” – a song about the profound meaning of sacrifice and the light born from it. Five impressive music videos were created for the album, enriching the musical experience.

Endless Agony

24 years after the first album release and more than 3 years of hard work and a small test tour, Clapsodra’s new album, Endless Agony, was released at mid 2018.

As originally planned, Endless Agony has 7 new songs and 3 remakes, all in a new killing production.

The new songs deals with the philosophical struggle of mankind against the non-attending existence of god, starting with the deportation from heaven followed by the biblical flood, with the endless pointless battle of the soul, heaven or hell, life itself as a living hell on earth, mostly as a result of the resembles between god and man: violent, intimidating and destructive, in spite of his ability and desire to be kind, humane and practice healing.

All of the new 7 songs lyrics were written by Lior Siman Tov, who is also the band manager.

Nissan Kuker back in the days wrote the lyrics to the 3 remakes:
The Final Solution, Justified Revolt, and Why.

Endless Agony was recorded at Masterpiece Recording Art Studio by Avi Zadkani and Uri Jeffrey.

Carrying the albums name, The Endless Agony song was the first song that was released with a killing video by RG Photography – Ron Gabizon and the talented director Lee Lavy, featuring the amazing actress Vera Rozova and the brilliant guest singer Betty Pablo.

The second video took a lot of work and was kept in the dark for a long time until it was released as Deported – with our new lead singer, Atalya Emily Shourki.

The Endless Agony album is a hit album and it is available on our Shop (It’s on sale right now, you should really check it out).

Brain Insanity

The band’s debut album, “Brain Insanity,” was released in 1994 and served as a deep and moving tribute to Holocaust remembrance. The album, released in cassette format which was popular at that time, contained true stories of survivors and became a significant historical-musical document. All compositions on the album were written by Avi Zadkani, with lyrics by Nisan Koker, the band’s bassist at the time.

“Brain Insanity” was more than just a musical album – it was a powerful artistic expression that managed to tell the stories of Holocaust survivors through a unique musical prism. After the album’s release, the band performed successfully throughout Israel and gathered loyal fans.
