BELL WITCH unleashed "FOUR PHANTOMS", 4/28/2015 via PROFOUND LORE RECORDS.
FROM PROFOUND LORE RECORDS:
We are pleased to announce that our third full length album “Mirror Reaper” will be released on October 20th through Profound Lore Records.
Pre-order: geni.us/BWMirrorReaperPRE
The album was produced and mixed by Billy Anderson (Swans, Sleep, Neurosis)
and contains a continuous 83-minute piece unfolding as a single track.
This is our first recorded album with Jesse Shreibman (drums, organ),
and again features honorary band member Erik Moggridge (Aerial Ruin). The artwork for "Mirror Reaper" was painted by Mariusz Lewandowski.
The title “Mirror Reaper” is indicative of the Hermetic axiom ‘As Above, So Below,’ written with two sides to form one whole. The song is both its own and its reflection, as an opposite is whole only with its contrary. Our focus as a band has always been the perception of ghosts and the implied archetype of the dichotomy of life/death therein. “Mirror Reaper" is a continuation of that concept.
During the writing process we were devastated by the loss of our dear friend and former drummer, Adrain Guerra. In love and respect to his memory, we reserved an important yet brief section in the song for him that features unused vocal tracks from our last album. This specific movement serves as a conceptual turn in the piece, or point of reflection. We believe he would be proud of it as well.
“Mirror Reaper” was the first collaborative writing project with the new lineup, and Adrian’s death during it brought extra emotional weight. We sought to match the complexity and weight of these events within the composition of the piece.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
