On their 5th full-length, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET
inject the feral obscurity of avant-primitivist Black Metal into
cinematic Darkjazz, in a dramatic expansion of the project’s inimitable
musical language.
Following-up 2022's shadowed and contemplative DMP debut, "Miserere", and 2023's "The Horror Cosmic" (released via Denovali), Jason Köhnen (BONG-RA, THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, CELESTIAL SEASON) now presents "Penance (De lijken van de Gebroeders De Witt)" – a morbid and unsettling reflection upon a 1675 work by School of Amsterdam painter Jan Baen, which is used as the forthcoming album's cover art:
THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET - "Penance" tracklist:
01. Si Quaeris
02. Symbolom Apostolorum
03. Anima Christi
04. Requiem Aeternam
05. Confiteor
06. Te Deum
In 1672, the De Witt
brothers were beaten, mutilated and hanged before a crowd for alleged
treason. It is said that the observers themselves committed acts of
cannibalism with the brothers' severed body parts. The event and
subsequent painting by Jan Baen offers a reflection on incredible human barbarism that has always profoundly affected Köhnen.
As an introduction, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET present 'Si Quaeris' as the first and only single from the forthcoming album.
Listen below to a potent fusion of nocturnal Chamber Opera, lo-fi Black Metal, Darkjazz and Electronic experimentation:
