about

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This album, Volume 25 is, much like Volume 6, just one single epic Spell, in this case, Spell 168. This single Spell is subdivided into five sections for ease of listening. For the first time ever, I have been joined by the Chorus of the Vindicated, a ten-strong cabal of eclectic practitioners ranging from the deeply Kemetic to the devoutly atheistic - eternal thanks to Re Horakhty, Nekrasov, Alice Palermo, Justin Ashworth, Spaceman Paul, Indigo Loki Aurora, Fat Little Bastard, Stillborn, Ádhamh Mícheál Ua Catháin,and La Voix du Fou. You will not go upside down!

The cover artwork is my own cosmic rendition of the 'Mummiform Figure Flanked By Six Vertical Snakes' that is pictured in the original papyrus accompanying Spell 168 in the tome I use for all my lyrical content, the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, translated by R O Faulkner.
