Happy Beltaine to all…
The new Joy Shannon and the Beauty Marks album was just featured on the awesome Cvlt Nation, where they likened it to a Nick Cave/Warren Ellis soundtrack and said “while metal acts have long had a fixation with pagan mythology and archaic traditions, Joy Shannon and the Beauty Marks come closer than ever to summoning the feeling of winter in a tenth century Northern forest… Mo Anam Cara closes with “Mabon Airmid (Bring Back the Dead)”, a track named for the Irish goddess whose song could raise the dead, a fitting finish for an album that is its own act of giving musical life to an all-but-lost spirituality and sense of magic.”
