Thirteen selections o f dark and psychedelic folk in the style of Wovenhand, Swans, or Death In June, with lyrics involving matters such as spirituality, Christian mysticism and the symbolist poetry of authors like Yeats, Blake, Goethe or Novalis. A magical vessel to connect with IAN MASON´s unique cosmovision, this collection of songs has been conjured from the depths of the subconscious world by meditation sessions and magical operations along the period of five years, in which as a result, the musician has found the visions and ecstatic images that became the songs which forms ORDALIAS. Seven depicted drawings from the Illustrator Nerea Kndina takes ORDALIAS a step further from other similar works and releases. Show more
