About Me


THE PROJECT :
YOU ALL KNOW THIS PAINTING :
IT WAS DONE IN 1883, AS THE THIRD VERSION OF WHAT COULD BE CALLED ARNOLD BÖCKLIN'S MASTERPIECE, THE ISLE OF THE DEAD (TOTENINSEL).
IT HAS FOR YEARS BEEN AN UNFATHOMABLE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ARTISTS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING OF COURSE MUSICIANS, AMONG THEM SERGUEÏ RACHMANNINOV.
THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT/TRIBUTE IS TO GATHER REAL CREATIVE/EFFECTIVE BANDS FROM THE BLACK METAL SCENE (OR NEAR), TO HAVE THEM WRITE A TRACK CALLED TOTENINSEL, WHICH WILL BE THEIR VERY OWN VISION, MUSICAL TRANSLATION OF THIS PAINTING AND ITS UNIVERSE.
WE HOPE TO GATHER SO ON TWO CDS TWENTY REALLY PERSONNAL VISIONS, FOR WHAT COULD BE FAR MORE THAN JUST A COMPILATION.
21 BANDS HAVE BEEN GATHERED TO PAY HOMMAGE, AND VENDLUS RECORDS (USA) IS GONNA RELEASE THIS TRIBUTE
THE BANDS :
HERE'S THE DEFINITIVE TRACKLIST :
01 - ANGMAR (FRANCE)
02 - ART OF THE BLACK BLOOD (USA)
