This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Every good horror movie has a sequel, and for this full-length follow up to 'The Dead Sea', John Twells has used the dark corners of the Christian religion as his guide. Composed initially for a fear-themed Chicago art installation, the sixty-minute piece gradually took shape as a celebration of desolate cellars and distant church bells, with research trips to Basilicas, Cathedrals and crumbling churches in Spain and Italy. Split into four distinct parts, it moves from metallic scrapes and haunting industrial soundscapes through the funereal 'In Deo Salutari Meo' to the climactic 'Beatae Immortalitatis', which features Heavy Winged's Jed Bindeman on drums.
Made at Type.
