"Love is a Battlefield" out now!
The heart of New York-based dark rock mavens Vajra originate and radiate outward from the sensual and multi-range vocals of composer and visionary Annamaria Pinna. “The influences are varied,” affirms Pinna. “I see us as travelers who go outside the bounds of a sense-based perception to catch a musical or lyrical idea, and then translate it to the material realm. When we get out of our own ways, we are translators or conduits for energies that move through us. Honoring what comes through is important for us.” Consistent with that philosophy, the band created three DIY music videos for the songs "Maya," "Sever the Tie" and "Crown or Crucify" which all fit together into a short film inspired by the Sumerian classic hero myth, "The Descent of Inanna."
“Maya” was awarded an Official Selection at the Cannes International Cinema Festival 2021, the New York Independent Cinema Awards 2021, the Montreal Independent Film Festival 2021, and 2021 ARFF Paris.
