Lustmord - The Word As Power

"Half a decade in the making, it’s an exploration of ritual music without dogma. For the first time in his 33-year career Lustmord places vocals at the centre of his abyssal ambient creations, coaxing incantatory performances out of Aina Skinnes Olsen, Jarboe (ex-Swans), Maynard James Keenan (Tool) and Soriah.Those looking to properly decode the subject matter of the album are advised to study Simon Fowler’s fiendishly elaborate, double-spread cover illustration. Suffice it to say here that it concerns "the word" as written - signs, ciphers, symbology, semantics, etymology - and as spoken - myths, mantras, chants, invocation and evocation. Of course it’s also about the unwritten, the unspoken; that which exists beyond the reach of language."

is it me or is this a blatant ripoff of that track by that techno duo (forget their name)

i was playing this in my living room and my roommate came out of the office and asked me what I was planning to sacrifice.

I don't think I have any worthy offerings at present moment.

it's just as well, no one cares anyway, i don't think anyone ever did honestly. it's nothing against you or your offering, nothing personal. sacrifice is vastly overrated. your friend is passé, so 3000 bc.

what a lump, u should sacrifice him maybe?

Now now, didn't your mother teach you to play nicely with the other children?

no

amazing

no chatter on this? i think it's his best effort in a long time. the voices add so much.

that is a seriously nice cover

good to see these new labels are reaching back to their roots, sort of like how BrainFeeder released Oizo's Mustache . It's a good way to educate the youngins on where the 'new' sounds come from

Lustmord is great, and Blackest Ever Black has become one of my favorite labels recently. That clip sounds great, definitely want this.

Enjoyable album, got completely lost in it the other evening which I guess is the point.

LOL @ Sasha Grey

Haunting, absolutely haunting.
