Lotus Thief Streaming "The Book Of The Dead"
Lotus Thief is a San Francisco band that merges post-black metal, space rock, and ambient music. The group will release new album, "Gramarye," on September 16th via Prophecy Productions.
In advance of the release of "Gramarye," today Lotus Thief unveils new song "The Book of the Dead," which takes inspiration from the ancient Egyptian funerary passage of the same name.
“The Book of the Dead is a beautiful text of its time, a sort of instruction manual for the afterlife compiled over about a thousand years and often inscribed on sarcophagi or tomb walls, hence the title “coffin spells,” comments multi-instrumentalist / composer Bezaelith. "For us, the song needed to be as vast and colorful as possible to approach the text, jumping from wild passages of harsh vocals to building solos, to calm ideological eyes of the storm from one moment to the next.”

Other newcomers to the fest include Germany's sludge masters Mantar, North Dakota's eerie Ghost Bath, Canada's frosty Numenorean, and New Jersey's Iberian folk-metalists Windfaerer.
The three-day event continues through the morning of Sunday, September 18th at Camp Hidden Valley, in White Hall, Maryland, about thirty miles north of Baltimore. Now in its second year, Shadow Woods Metal Fest strives to showcase the best in underground metal from diverse subgenres.
"Lord Almighty has a raw, fresh approach to black metal," says festival organizer Mary Spiro. "They display both aggression and beauty when they perform, and we are super stoked to have them!" Lord Almighty replaces Chicago's Empyreus on Saturday night.
Friday night headliners include Brooklyn's post black metal pillagers Tombs, Mongolian folk metal warriors Tengger Cavalry, Detroit's horror-death conjurers Acid Witch, and a special reunion performance from Philly's blackened doom two-piece Sadgiqacea. Saturday headliners include black-thrash alchemists Blood Storm, Pennsylvania death metal stalwarts Sadistic Vision, Maryland's doom metal godfather Scott "Wino" Weinrich with friends from Faith In Jane, and Long Island ritualists Teloch Vovin.

Lotus Thief Reveals New Album
Lotus Thief is a San Francisco band that merges post-black metal, space rock, and ambient music, seamlessly blending the genres into a unique and greater musical whole. The group will release new album "Gramarye" on September 16th via Prophecy Productions.
Taking its name from the Lotus eaters in Homer's epic poem “Odyssey,” Lotus Thief song lyrics bloom from age-old texts, intentionally exploring the world of the past while weaving threads to the present.
"Gramarye" compiles five different antique source texts that span nearly two thousand years and five different civilizations, ranging from the ancient Egyptian funerary passage "The Book of the Dead" to Homer's "Odyssey" and the medieval "Merseburg Incantations" (one of the only pagan incantations still in existence in Old High German) through to the Aleister Crowley-penned early 20th century occult literature, "The Book Of Lies."

Lotus Thief Signs With Svart Records
Svart Records today announces the signing of Lotus Thief, A San Francisco-based duo that will release debut album "Rervm" this coming Autumn on CD, double-vinyl, and digital formats.
Comprising the talents of Bezaelith (Botanist, Mina Loy, The Night Falls) and Otrebor (Botanist, Ordo Obsidium), Lotus Thief weaves a union of metal, space rock, and ambient sounds, all with the purpose to pass along the knowledge of superlative ancient texts.

The final release date, cover, and track listing will be announced shortly, but in the meantime, the first taste of Lotus Thief can be heard below. More...
