about

This album was originally released on tape by CURSE ( cursedtapes.bandcamp.com ) at October 22th 2021.

----------

In a tavern near one of the trading routes, that lead through Ayaruza, I once meet a group of merchants from the islands in the far east.
They told me about a demonic procession, that haunts the roads of their country in the months of summer and kidnaps or kills everyone who doesn’t hide in time.
As I didn’t believe them, a elderly man stood up and told his story.

Once in the days of his youth, he was taken by the nightly parade of 100 demons and was brought to the court of their lord, where he was forced to work as a servant.
One day he met the daughter of the Demon Lord. She was an otherworldly beauty, who was kept by her father like a bird in a golden cage.
Both fell in love and decided to run away together.
The Demon Lord’s daughter prepared a sleeping poison and put it into the sake of her father and his men.
But the plan failed and her father woke up before the two could reach the gate into the human world and he started to chase them.
The old man told, that when he and his lover reached the gate, it was like he was struck by lightning and he lost his consciousness.
When he woke up, the men found himself in the bright sunlight on a dusty crossroad. His lover was gone and all he saw was a white fox, that vanished into the undergrowth.

----------

This album was inspired by Japanese folklore and uses several motives from Japanese myths.
I used this bits of folklore at my best knowledge and with the highest respect for the culture of the people of Japan.
I hope that I was able to create something enjoyable for everyone.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
