J-GERBLUT - CD 1896-1906

Popis - 1896-1906:
After 10 Years of existence, the group around Anton Knilpert (Thorofon/The Musick Wreckers), featuring Geneviéve Pasquier, Giuseppe Tonal and Tikki Nagual (Tonal Y Nagual) released their first longplayer after the successful split 7" with Sturmpercht. The work of Jägerblut can best be described as listening to a musical narrative, told in several parts forming a larger story of another time and place. A bavarian fiction infused with pagan and christian mysticism. Drawing heavily from rural lore, legends of blood-covered martyrs and the inevitabilty of nature, the musicians try to find their roots within the context of modernity. The music itself ranges from whimsical folk to ritualistic versions of the local styles, not to forget the non too subtle moments of industrial sounds. Daring to see the comical in the tragedy and always wandering between sadness and exultation, the experience of Jägerblut is that of the world being full of dark poetry. A unique masterpiece and a MUST for all Waldteufel and Sturmpercht fans!
