BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL...

"Light the Fires! is at once, calling in desperation for a communal manifestation! The collective awakening of an inherent connectedness to all & the crucial ignition of need fire. A sacred flame lighting the path & re-connecting the primal spirit within us all. For the time has come, as our folk look upon these final days, spiraling towards a new age. It is this spirit, battered & bruised, suppressed & spiritually bred out, that belongs to no particular gender, race, age, system or path. Its only prerequisites are awareness, dignity & respectful participation...Listen...Act...Rise & Shine oh beautiful flames!"

In BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL news, a fourth full length collection entitled "Light the Fires!" looks to be released sometime during mid year 2011. No official release date has been set & I'm quite humbled to announce that both www.bindrunerecordings.com & www.handmadebirds.com will join together in sending this voice out into the void. The collection will be released as a deluxe spot UV, "Old Style" Stoughton 5" gatefold CD. A double 180 gram 12" Stoughton gatefold LP, will also be made available through both Bindrune & Handmade Birds later on this year. The vinyl will feature an exclusive opening ritual to the format. Please view the teaser trailer here:
