Maybe conceptually and/or aesethtically these people are into heavy metal (ex: album title is a nod a later-era Black Sabbath album of the same name, tracks named “Black Candles & Pentagrams n’ Shit” and “Risen, The Judas Moon”). On the other hand, musically this somewhere around a mix of Nurse With Wound and Lustmord and some other creepy-ass music.
(((1)))) Super-droney, bizarre & high-pitched. Lots of wolf howls (or is that a dog humming?) Overall, really fucked-up & dark ambience ‘ala Lustmord, early Current 93 and/or Nurse With Wound whose Steven Stapleton er...”Babs Satnini” is on this track. No FCCs despite the not cool with the FCC title.
((2)) Lots of brooding bass clarient, more drones & other weirdness...I never thought a clarinet could sound ‘grim’ but they’re getting there.
((3)) Nice, simple regal & medieval sounding flute.
((((4)))) Sounds a bit like the Italian ‘early music’/folk-band Atraxia. A Latin-sung tune from the 15th century France. Really nice!
((5))) Bizarre Buzzcocks cover. I don’t actually know the original but either way this is rather odd. Is it dodgy for us to play a song that has the line “my prick, my spirit?” other than that nothing else is um, ‘not ready for prime time here’.
