Cut Hands

housed in high gloss gatefold sleeve. Includes mp3/FLAC download. It is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. Now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of Santería and Voudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. Festival of the Dead is without doubt the most potent distillation yet of Cut Hands' malign percussive energy, with pieces like "The Claw" and "Vaudou Take Me High" leading the irresistible polyrhythmic assault in pursuit of one thing: a final rapturous celebration of oblivion. Written and produced by William Bennett.
"from the crushing roil of 'Parataxic Distortion', to the slow, exotic keen of 'Inlightenment' and the brilliant, discordant quickstep of 'None Of Your Bones Are Broken', which all share a richer palette of instrumentation and technique coming off like the Zeitkratzer Ensemble attacking with obscure, outernational tools. In case you haven't witnessed one of Cut Hand's incendiary live shows in the last few years, 'Festival Of The Dead' is a refined reminder that this project is still critically unique and potent as ever" Boomkat
