Assault on History's Tomb will be the new album by Puçanga an electronic music project with enchanting and funereal sounds, sampling, and polyphonies.

The research is based on the concept of the panopticon, a poetic analysis of various historical periods, inspired by resistant and mythological beings such as mermaids, mourners, or tomb raiders. This album is a fable on history, for another future. An ode to the migratory flows that bloom the symbiosis of life, it starts at the origins of life on Earth and goes through the Neolithic, patriarchy, colonial violence, the neoliberal agenda, and surveillance capitalism. With fables in a devastated environment, the album presents and invents voices of resistance. Assaulting History is an act of revolt to write it in a fairer way.

With musical collaborations from Kali, João Pereira, Rezmorah, Evaya, Sainkho Namtchylak, and others, the album aims to become a multidisciplinary performance.
