专辑介绍

by Tom Schulte

With an ethereal, treated voice, Sharynne MacLeod NicMacha sings and chants in English, Gaelic, French, Bulgarian, Latin, and Pictish on this Dead Can Dance-like album of pagan darkwave. Instrumentally rich, NicMacha also adds flute, pennywhistle, harp, viol, tenor recorder, Tibetan wood flute, viola, bells, and percussion to the mix. The other half of this project, Scott Dakota, adds his creation, a "wide-range fretless guitar," which mostly sounds like a heavily distorted baritone guitar. Offering thundering, neck-wrapping chord patterns through this instrument, Dakota also performs on other modified guitars, viol, and percussion besides adding analog effects and loops arranged according to mystical principles. Medieval airs are brought to life from roots put down in Ireland, the Middle East, and places beyond and in between. The voice of the project, NicMacha was born Sharon and is currently the incarnation of a "vampyre." These ancient lyrics become sufficiently chthonic and dark when she intones them in this undead state of mind. To this beautiful and profane worship Dakota brings a musical sensibility both industrial in its harshness and tribal in its percussive minimalism. Never does he get in the way of those lucid vocals, though, making this modern treatment of pagan song unforgettable and unique. The full-color booklet provides text, translations, and historical notes for each haunting track.
