From the Hallways of the Night, Into the Windows of Your Eyes. For these Autumnal, Winter, Pre-Vernal Sessions (October 2014 – March 2015) Harvest Rain were: Jason Thompkins, Amanda Votta, Derek Lown and special guest Joseph Pyne on “Weightless.”
The Path, like untamed fruit, is rotten, withered, decayed and deceased. Like a bloated body left out in the open sun. The fruit ferments. That is to say, it decays even further. It decays so deeply in the thick black weathered swamp. When it reaches it’s nadir it sizzles, glows, illuminates and takes flight. It becomes Will-o-the-Whisp, the Ghost Lights, the Haunting Messenger calling You away from the Path. Such is the Path of some Men and Women. It’ll take time spent with the most withered of Mankind’s Tree, at it’s Roots to truly be able to comprehend and fully enjoy that Trees Fruits.
For there is nothing in this world more beautiful than the moment, when a human soul, has been shredded, crucified endlessly, tormented, driven insane, beat and spat upon, torn into a trillion pieces, and all of this alone with no one to share or to know of it and to then be made anew, to receive the Consolumentum and and brought back together, whole, complete, absolute, Resurrected. Could there possibly be anything more beautiful?
Yes. I am one of the few who survived that Path. By the Absolute Loyalty of Divine Love. “She” in the flesh. “Her” footsteps are real, now and forever. For that is Her breath with mine in the Muse-ic of this album. The Serpent swallowed it’s Tail. The Final Test. The Final Turn of the Wheel. There will be no more. For, behold! It is Done!
Jason Thompkins
Harvest Rain woud like to thank : Amanda, Guy, Claire, Brian, Joe, Karl, Franz, Alexander and Kala. To OPN for being there.
Spiritual Front – Amour Braque (2CD artbook) Label: Prophecy Productions – AB 082 LU Format: 2 CD, Album, All Media, Artbook Country: Germany Released: 23 Mar 2018 Style: Alternative Rock
Five years after the compilation album “Open Wounds”, Italian ‘suicide pop’ trio Spiritual Front will release its new album, “Amour Braque” via Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. French for ‘Mad Love’, “Amour Braque” is conceptually described as “a sincere and cruel analysis of what love/sex relations are, a path that switches between tenderness and rot”.
Five years after the compilation album “Open Wounds”, Italian ‘suicide pop’ trio Spiritual Front will release its new album, “Amour Braque” via Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. French for ‘Mad Love’, “Amour Braque” is conceptually described as “a sincere and cruel analysis of what love/sex relations are, a path that switches between tenderness and rot”.
Formed in 1999 as the solo project of Simone H. Salvatori, Spiritual Front dubs its sound “catchy ballads for heartbreaker nihilist youth”; its Morricone-inspired neofolk channels art rock, tango, new wave and country influences through a modern lens. Spiritual Front’s unique musical identity is a reflection of Salvatori’s savoir-faire which sees the frontman as a sort of Machiavellian playboy, merging Las Vegas-esque pomp and stomp with a surly suggestiveness, lending the band’s sound a hedonistic flair. The lyrical themes shared by Salvatori deal with issues such as searching for self-identity, sexuality, harsh realities and angry break-ups, each tinted with sarcasm, nihilism and biting humor. In its time as a band, Spiritual Front has contributed to the soundtracks of the TV series “Las Vegas” and the motion picture “Saw 2” as well as independent films, theatre productions and modern ballets.
“Amour Braque” is Spiritual Front’s sixth full-length album. The record combines gloomy alternative rock, dark folk and chamber pop with standout 60’s blues rock vibes. Featuring striking cover art by cult surrealist artist Saturno Buttò, “Amour Braque” features guest musicians Matt Howden, King Dude, Client and more.
