Dave Aftandilian Man this takes me back. I remember going from store to store back in the day, trying to find one that carried visionary World Serpent bands like SBB. And now I remember why I cared so much: SBB makes beautiful, disturbing dark folk music and magic out of historical myths, medieval instruments, and angelic female vocals.

about

DAP055 THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK - 1212

1212 is a compilation of rare and unreleased archival material from The Soil Bleeds Black. This album tells the tale of the ill-fated Children's Crusade in the year 1212. The Soil Bleeds Black performs traditional styled medieval folk music utilizing both synths and real instruments to draw the listener back in time. The effect is intensified with the addition of vocals by Dawn Desiree'.

THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK (originally consisting of Mike & Mark Riddick) was one of the first early US "dungeon synth" artists to appear on the newly created Dark Age Productions in 1995 and later assisted operating the label with the Eastern Tower of DAP in the mid-late 1990s. The group later went on to produce multiple albums on labels such as Cold Meat Industry and World Serpent. Dark Age Productions is very pleased to welcome them back home for this special release!

*Due to the age of the material certain audio artifacts may still appear.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
