Cut Hands
Festival Of The Dead
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 santerA#a and vaudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms We here present Cut Hands and 'Festival Of The Dead' This is Cut Hands' third album to date the acclaimed Afro Noise I introduced the project in 2011 and 2012's Black Mamba expanded its feverish vision preceded by a single of the same name on Blackest Ever Black 2013 saw the release of the similarly fiery 'Madwoman' and 'Damballah 58' 12 Inches on Downwards and BEB respectively 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 Original veve artwork by Mimsy DeBlois Mastered by Noel Summerville 2xLP housed in high gloss gatefold sleeve
