HUNGTAI, ALEX ZHANG / DAVID MARANHA / GABRIEL FERRANDINI - Eight Black Horses Crown Snake

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Violante Do Ceu Release Year: 2018 Note: incredible intense soundscapes performed on three drums => ALEX ZHANG HUNGTAI (voice, sax., drums), GABRIEL FERRANDINI (drums), and DAVID MARANHA (organ & drums) created five movements, very dark and at times violent, at times suffering / melancholic ."one of my favorite Alex Zhang Hungtai releases, stellar vocal / rhythm interplay beginning with the opening track's percussion to culminate in a finale that despite the overarching dark mood evolves in to a moving composition of sublime beauty.." [jgladden] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info "Through me you go into the city of grief, through me you go into the pain that is eternal, through me you go among people lost. Justice moved my exalted creator; the divine power made me, the supreme wisdom, and the primal love. Before me all created things were eternal, and eternal I will last. Abandon every hope, you who enter here. ...after he had taken me by the hand, with a cheerful look which comforted me, he drew me within the secret place [the eternal world]." -Dante, Canto III, The Divine Comedy Alex Zhang Hungtai - Voice, Saxophone and Drums David Maranha - Organ and Drums Gabriel Ferrandini - Drums Recorded in Cinema Passos Manuel 10th of March 2017 Mixed by Alex, David and Gabriel in Violante do Céu Studio Mastered by Tó Pinheiro da Silva in Oeiras on 10th of November 2017 Cover photo from White Noise Book, Interior photo taken at Conservatório de Lisboa, both by António Júlio Duarte We are self releasing it through david's label Violent do Céu, if you would like a CD version of the album please email david and he will post it to you.
