FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VAJRA UNVEILS “SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN (POMPEII REIMAGINING)” — A HYPNOTIC LATE-NIGHT JOURNEY

New York City’s Vajra returns with a mesmerizing reinterpretation of the Pink Floyd classic, “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” available March 20, 2026. Inspired by the stark, elemental atmosphere of Live at Pompeii, Vajra’s reimagining is a slow-burn exploration of tension, release, and transcendence—designed for deep listening, late-night reflection, and altered perception.

Layered guitars, ritualistic rhythms, and Annamaria Pinna’s ethereal vocals create a hypnotic soundscape that transforms the original composition into an immersive, cinematic experience. Rather than replicate, Vajra expands the track’s architecture, inviting listeners into a meditative journey where control meets collapse, and discipline gives way to transcendence.

The single is available for streaming and pre-save:

Vajra has built a reputation for bridging progressive, gothic, and alternative metal realms with ethereal intensity. Previous singles like “Truth Has Many Lies” premiered on Revolver and charted #2 on Mediabase Activator, while their video for “Love Is a Battlefield” made waves on MTV Live’s Metal Thrashing Madness. Fans of Tool, Pink Floyd, and A Perfect Circle will find themselves drawn into Vajra’s hypnotic, ritualistic sonic world once again.

About Vajra:
Led by Annamaria Pinna and guitarist Dave Sussman, Vajra is a New York City-based gothic-prog project blending cinematic textures, ethereal vocals, and intricate instrumentation. Their music explores the intersection of heaviness and reflection, crafting immersive experiences that linger long after the last note fades.
