This seems to be the last piece of the mystical-musical puzzle started by Zorn. I’m still in love with the insanely brilliant “Ipsissimus” released in 2010, followed by “Templars-In Sacred Blood” in 2012.
Zorn formed in 2006 the hardcore voice/bass/drums trio of Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn, and Joey Baron which became known as the Moonchild Trio.
Moonchild is the title of a novel written by Aleister Crowley in 1917. Its plot involves a magical war between a group of white magicians, led by Simon Iff, and a group of black magicians over an unborn child. In the novel, numerous acquaintances of Crowley appear as thinly disguised fictional characters. Crowley portrays MacGregor Mathers as the primary villain, including him as a character named SRMD, using the abbreviation of Mathers’ magical name. Arthur Edward Waite appears as a villain named Arthwaite, and the unseen head of the Inner Circle of which SRMD was a member, “A.B.” is theosophist Annie Besant.
Same year two albums of Zorn’s compositions performed by the trio were released: “Moonchild: Songs Without Words” and “Astronome”. Read more John Zorn (Moonchild) – The Last Judgement (2014)
Acesta este un „heavy shit” adevărat, dacă muzica ar avea greutate fizică şi ar cădea peste tine, te-ar strivi. Şi dacă eticheta „Avant-garde Metal” şi Rock experimental nu este doar fiţă de promenadă, se datorează exclusiv proiectelor de acest gen. În general „supergrup”-urile dau randamente oscilante, de cele mai multe ori sunt adunătură exclusiv din considerente comerciale, „le mai luăm fraierilor banii o tură”.
