The music of Soil Bleeds Black,<br \/>\nimmersed in Middle Age atmospheres and customs, explores the<br \/>\ntraditions and customs of medieval Europe. Along similar lines, the<br \/>\nindustrial-electronic music of Psychonaut 75 blends ritualism with<br \/>\npost-apocalyptic chaos. Hence, it is only appropriate to call the<br \/>\ncollaboration of Hexentanz an outfit of occult music.<\/p>\n<p>The band members of Hexentanz have interests &#8212; in<br \/>\nsome form or the other &#8212; pertaining to the left-hand tradition:<br \/>\nMichael Ford is the author of several memoirs dealing with the<br \/>\npractice of the Witches Sabbat, Persian sorcery, Luciferian<br \/>\nWitchcraft and magic in general; Michael Riddick has been studying<br \/>\nand practicing magic for the past ten years; Dana Dark has been<br \/>\ninvolved in the dark music underground, with her work involving<br \/>\norganization of several gothic culture events in Texas; Lux Fero<br \/>\n(Davcina) has a background in Luciferian witchcraft, Mexican<br \/>\nWitchcraft, and folk magic traditions; and Mark Riddick has been<br \/>\nexperimenting and recording music with various medieval instruments<br \/>\nfor the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>According to the band website, Hexentanz conceives<br \/>\nits art within the living tradition of &#8220;left-hand path practice,&#8221;<br \/>\nand maintains sincerity with its elucidation of the medieval<br \/>\nWitches Sabbat.<\/p>\n<p>Composed of actual medieval period instruments,<br \/>\nsynthetic ritual devices, human bones, and authentic arcane chants<br \/>\nof medieval and modern witch cult practice, the musical expression<br \/>\nof Hexentanz encompasses the practice of medieval black magic.<br \/>\n<i>Nekrocrafte<\/i> is an album of ghoulish chanting and primeval<br \/>\ntribal rhythms, which form a rich soundscape of dark, neo-medieval<br \/>\nfolk music.<\/p>\n<p><i>Nekrocrafte<\/i> is an album of sounds rather than<br \/>\ntunes. The musical interpretations of rituals on this album would<br \/>\nmake a great soundtrack for a gothic horror-flick. This record is<br \/>\nrecommended only for those who believe in or take part in<br \/>\nwitchcraft rituals.<\/p>\n<p>[More information on Hexentanz can be found at<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hexentanz.us\" target=\"_blank\">www.hexentanz.us<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><\/review><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":28206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[7678],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-39616","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-hexentanz","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/39616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/39616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39616"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=39616"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=39616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
