The Adept by Lord Spikeheart

Kanja’s debut solo album surpasses the might of his past work by several degrees. Listening to it feels like moshing in the Mariana Trench, being hurled by the currents through liquid darkness. - Pitchfork (7.6)

The list of collaborators is an inspired one — Cardopusher/Safety Trance, Fatboi Sharif, Brodinski, and Backxwash are some of Kanja’s guests — but The Adept never feels like anything less than something only Lord Spikeheart could have made. It’s the sound of an atom of the soul being split, unleashing an eldritch new energy. - The Fader

Allow yourself to sit in this chaos and you may begin to feel strangely liberated, as if screaming into a raging wind or, like Kanja himself, harnessing a prodigiously expressive power. - The Guardian (Global album of the month)

The record is a tribute to the daily fight against oppression in all its forms and comes with a special dedication to Lord Spikeheart’s great grandmother Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima who was
the only woman to earn the rank during the Mau Mau uprising against the British colonialists in Kenya.
The lyrics come in a dedicated leaflet with English translation.
