ItÆs even harder when we lose' `:one at their own hands. I wonÆt get too metaphysical, this :' `:isnÆt really the place, but I will say I do believe itÆs not' `:for you or I to judge when suicide is justified. I think the' `:concept of taking ones own life being a ôwasteö or ôwrongö :' `:come from 2000 years of religious indoctrination, especially' `:in the West. ItÆs not always been seen as a sin, and in some' `:cultures actually expected under the right circumstances. :' `:Obviously I never knew Selim Lemouchi, but as a fan of his :' `:music as the driving force behind Dutch Occult Rock masters:' `:The DevilÆs Blood, IÆve felt his loss all the same. I :' `:neither know the circumstances surrounding his decision to :' `:end his life, nor do I want to. IÆm here to celebrate one of' `:my favorites from his band as interpreted by another of my :' `:beloved Dutch troubadours, avant-garde Black Metallers, :' `:Urfaust. :' `: :' `:Side A consist of a cover of The DevilÆs Blood ôVoodoo Dustö' `:from their phenomenal 2008 EP ôCome, Reapö and one of my :' `:personal favorite TDB tracks. While holding fast to the :' `:original, this version is slower, more haunting, but what is' `:it if not a eulogy for a fallen comrade? Relying heavily of:' `:drums, keyboards and a predominant bass line, the focal :' `:point becomes IXÆs incredible voice. As IÆve said before, :' `:for my money heÆs one of the best in the business. ItÆs an :' `:eerie hymn casting a gloomy shadow across the land, but with' `:plenty of Urfaust weirdness. One thing IÆve always loved :' `:about them, you never know what theyÆll do next. :' `: :' `:Side BÆs ôKalabhairavaö is an original piece. Bhairava is an' `:aspect of Shiva associated with annihilation, and at nearly:' `:ten minutes long, itÆs nothing if not a mantra. Using mostly' `:voices and keyboards, itÆs completely eerie and ethereal. It' `:also features Farida Lemouchi on vocals. SheÆs the sister of' `:Selim and the original vocalist of TDB. ItÆs amazingly :' `:beautiful, but also incredibly sad, but too often we run :' `:from those feelings, when they should be embraced. :' `: :' `:The EP was released in two versions: a standard version on :' `:180 gram black vinyl housed in card board jacket with gold :' `:hotfoil embossing, and a limited edition on amber vinyl that' `:includes a CD. This version is housed in a gatefold jacket :' `:with a massive metal sigil inset on the front cover. The :' `:sigil was designed by Jinx Dawson of Coven and rendered by :' `:Karmazid. While the music is and should be the real star, :' `:those special editions are indeed a thing of beauty. Long :' `:since sold out from the label, keep your eyes on the :' `:secondary market. ItÆs definitely worth it. In the meantime,' `:just get one. :' `: :' `: :' `: :' `:https://urfaust.bandcamp.com/album/voodoo-dust :' . ......... . . ................... . : .....::::::::::' : | `````:::::::' | : | `:::::::' | : | | `..:' | | _|__| ` |__|_ __ _________.' | | `._________ __ _ _____________ _ _______________ S! | . ______ _____ / __ __ _____ /__ __ ____ i . _/ ___/ | ___/ /__| |__| | | ___/ / /__| |__ \__| i__ |________. |__________________.| |______/_______ ___\_____ __/ |__| |_____ _ |__| . |__| __ _________ . c r u e l t y . _________ __ `. | _ ___ ____ ____ | .'
