IN PRAISE OF DEAD GODS

"IN PRAISE OF DEAD GODS Divine hymns to raw existence! Here are four outsider musicians and songwriters who slyly warp the classical music performance vocabulary into a solemn music of existential horror, longing and melancholy. Curated from across the national stage and brought together here for the first time, these artists suggest an emergence of a new coalescence on the underground music landscape. That is: a queer and critical reverence for Western classical music that comes out of DIY and underground metal music subcultures. Discriminating aesthetes and sullen KVLT hordes to the front!
