by Schammasch

supported by

David Fischer Schammasch ensorcelled me with Hearts of No Light (and I'm bewildered by the fact that it's been five years already), so I could hardly be any more excited for The Maldoror Chants. I will not listen to any singles prior to release but, in the meantime, will catch up and get to the conceptual predecessor of this release. Surely and cautiously optimistic, we can agree that this will be an intriguing record. One shall soon find out if they have indeed found (...wrote?) their master(...piece?)

about

With ‚Old Ocean‘ Schammasch continue their 2017 journey into the bizarre and mystical spheres of ‚Les chants de Maldoror‘, a dark 19th century literary classic that later ignited the spark responsible for the surrealist movement.
