CONSTELLATIA release an in-studio playthrough video for “In Vituperation,” the second track from their 2022 album Magisterial Romance, out now on Season of Mist. Running just under nine minutes, the track is one of the album’s most concentrated studies in atmosphere and tension, built around the experience of being inexplicably bound to another person, that gravity that defies rational account.

The playthrough features the band’s current lineup: Gideon Lamprecht & Matthew Cox on guitars, Keenan Oakes on bass and vocals, and Jonathan Burgers on drums. The performance offers a direct window into the architecture of a track that, on record, was largely the work of Lamprecht and Oakes as a duo, with Lamprecht handling all recording, production and mixing at his home studio in Cape Town. Seeing it rendered by a full band clarifies the compositional scale the two had in mind from the outset.

The playthrough arrives ahead of a run of three live dates. Constellatia will perform at District in Cape Town on April 4, followed by Tweefontein Melkery in Johannesburg on May 16 as part of the Massacre (US) South Africa tour, and The Armchair in Cape Town on June 11 as part of the Vígljós (CH) African tour.
