SAM McLOUGHLIN - Folklore Of Plants Vol 2: The Venefic Garden (Foklore Tapes)

SAM McLOUGHLIN - Folklore Of Plants Vol 2: The Venefic Garden (Foklore Tapes) With this record the plants and ideas involved in veneficium have been gathered, distilled and given voice. Recorded mainly using an array of homemade acoustic instruments, the music is a fitting depiction of the deep nocturnal delirium and various states of necromantic trance brought about by these plant poisons. it also goes someway to portray the genuine fear, respect and emotional gravity they still hold deep in our cultural memory. The music is also inspired by the living presence of the plants themselves, as their scents and character are known to the author through private cultivation. The Venefic Garden is offered as a soundtrack to the hidden history of this fascinating area of western folk-magic, an outer limit of occult herbalism that imparts visceral knowledge of the borderlands between life and death.
