Dracula is the embodiment of Satan for the Victorian age. The character is sinister, cunning, repulsive, sickening. He is quite different to the suave gentleman that any of the films depict him as. He is an old man who grows younger when gorged with blood. He is a walking, rotting corpse, the opposite to us and a reminder of our own mortality. Perhaps the novel's popularity has always been in its ability to make one feel like order has been restored through a strong empathy with the characters. We feel that we have become part of their existence through reading their diaries, letters and hearing their phonograph recordings. Dispelling the shadows and bringing light where once there was only fear in darkness... subduing the beast within us and aspiring to righteousness.
This collection celebrates the 125th anniversary of Bram Stoker's "Dracula", with international musicians bringing their musical interpretation of this modern myth. With gloomy dark ambient, droning soundscapes and electroacoustic compositions, all the pieces are inspired by chapters, scenes, or characters from the novel.
Features: Dead Space Chamber Music, Subterranean Source, Onasander & Les Anges Morts, Michael Bonaventure, Grey Frequency, David Strother, Rapoon, [ówt krì], Kloob, Mario Lino Stancati, Howlround, and Henrik Meierkord.
Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digipak with art by John Chadwick.
