about

The traditional Coventry Carol refers to the Massacre of the Innocents: Herod ordered all male infants in Bethlehem killed in pursuit of the Christ child. The carol itself is a lullaby- sung by mothers of the doomed children. Today is an auspicious time to remember the darker roots behind this and many other songs of the Christmas holiday. Eschewing any jingling bells or red-nosed reindeers, these 8 analog arrangements evoke the solemn ceremony of the Catholic mass, rendered by a horned cantor in rawhide robes. A chorus of modular synthesizers awaits- to light a path through the darkest nights of the solstice! This is a Christmas album that could only be made by an Occultist and a Jew, reveling in the shadowy recesses of the holiday season. Ready your Yule log and a sacrifice to Mithra, for Christmas time is nigh...
