about

On this, the Nineteenth Volume in The Horn's ancient grimoire, A Demon Sheen decided not to play guitar at all, but the turkish saz instead. Drones, microtones, and lots of wah pedal ensued.

NO GUITARS ARE USED ON THIS ALBUM.

There are thematic links between many of the spells on this volume.
The theme in Spell 85, for instance, was composed by playing the main riffs of Spell 117 backwards; the theme in Spell 187 is based around the riff in Spell 117 played slower; The Mound of the Ibis is a reformed version of the theme in Spell 85; the distorted saz riff in Spell 155 is the riff from Spell 157, played slower and with a scorpion sting in its tail; the granularly-stretched ambiences throughout are made from layers of other Spells dimensionally-wrenched into sprawling noise-scapes with Paul's Stretch Software.

Conceptual Continuity...

This album was conceived as an album with two roughly equal halves: Side A is from Spell 157 to 187 inclusive, and Side B is Spell 180 and 155.
