An hour of slow, cyclical doom magic from Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin - four pieces exploring worship, eclipse, and destruction.
For fans of: Pallbearer, Mizmor, Thou, Sunn O))), Nortt
On Stygian Bough Volume II, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both collaborating projects as a conduit in its own separate entity. In the course of an hour, four musical pieces set themselves apart from the catalogs of both individual bands and branch into new territory all the while threaded to the original encounter.
Over the album a cyclical world unfolds in which different perspectives of how various forms of worship empower, eclipse, destroy and feed on each other is explored. Aptly named in reference to The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, the album operates on the Law of Contagious Magic - where contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them, and a musical notion serves as an unbodied conduit threading an inseparable seam between music and audience.
