Product info

Origin of the Alimonies is Liturgy's fifth full-length album and their first to fully integrate Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's vision of total art, or what she calls Perichoresis, with her musical compositions. The music amplifies a dramatic narrative addressing the question of the origin of all things, which itself aesthetically grounds the content of Hunt-Hendrix's ongoing philosophical YouTube series on her System of Transcendental Qabala. <br/> <br/>The album is by far Liturgy's most meticulous and radical statement, pushing their characteristic synthesis between black metal, minimalism, experimental club music, and 19th-century romanticism to new extremes. Exploring microtonality, free improvisation, polymetric structures and Richard Wagner's ideas of musikdrama and leitmotif, Hunt-Hendrix employs her unique "burst beat" technique to bind together the rhythmic signatures of metal, experimental club and classical music in the service of speech patterns and narrative flow. <br/> <br/>Featuring the virtuosic playing of bandmates Leo Didkovsky, Tia Vincent-Clark and Bernard Gann, the entire album also includes flute, piano, harp, strings and horns performed by a 8-piece chamber ensemble drawn from New York's various avant-garde music scenes.
