2LP released: Oct 13, 2014
It is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. Now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of Santer?a and Voudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. Festival of the Dead is without doubt the most potent distillation yet of Cut Hands' malign percussive energy, with pieces like ''The Claw'' and ''Vaudou Take Me High'' leading the irresistible polyrhythmic assault in pursuit of one thing: a final rapturous celebration of oblivion. Written and produced by William Bennett. TRACKLISTING A1. The Claw A2. I Know What I Must Do A3. Damballah 58 B1. Parataxic Distortion B2. Festival of the Dead B3. Belladonna Theme C1.
