Thy Moon and Thy Sun in Holy Collision
Locking the Time and Space inside the Blackest Void
Invoking the New and Sublime Sacred Energy
To Heal with an Embrace the Dark Night of The Soul.
Chaos and Harmony uniting in a Crescent Heart
Feeding the Cosmic Mouth, The Heavens and The Abyss
Annointing the Birds and the Insects as Imaterial Guides,
To Heal with a Whisper the Dark Night of The Soul.
This Holy Eclipse revealing The Altar of Truth and Love,
This Holy Eclipse revealing The Path Light and Compassion
This Holy Eclipse revealing The Sound of Eternal Evolution
This Holy Eclipse revealing The Only Gods, She and He.
Sin : Shamash
about
The journey of the Goddess Ishtar into the Underworld is channeled into a communion of four long pieces of ritual psychedelia with blackened doom atmosphere. Once more, Alone In The Hollow Garden explores the boundless expression of sound as a sacred tool of creation and simultaneously as a transcendental vehicle for the exploration of the polarities which define our universe, light and shadow, masculine and feminine, intellect & intuition, power & emotion, creation & dissolution.
The album was created with the assistance of many experimental piezo based devices, metal percussions, kantele, amplified strings, all self built by Dan Serbanescu under the Temple Instruments name, a mark soon to be launched.
"Ishtar" is available in physical format as a standard limited edition CDr hosted in a beautiful recycled cardboard digibook packaging and as a "Special Amulet Edition", containing a magick brass amulet beautifully handcrafted by ATMA. The Ring and Rod mesopotamian symbol uniting the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine is held in both hands by the Goddess Ishtar.
You’d expect an album titled “Velociraptor” to be heavy and this doesn’t disappoint, as it’s jam-packed with serrated noise & feedback. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2023
