Book of Black Earth Post Track Off “Horoskopus”
Seattle’s BOOK OF BLACK EARTH has posted a new song, “Funeral of Peace,” from the band’s forthcoming album on the band’s MySpace page. Due out October 14 through Prosthetic Records, Horoskopus is BOOK OF BLACK EARTH’s second full-length, and debut for new home Prosthetic Records.
“Horoskopus is a concept album about the hidden astrological elements of the Christian church,” vocalist / guitarist T.J. Cowgill adds. “From its origins as a state sponsored religion in the fourth century to the present day, it has been guided by astrological concepts conceived centuries before Jesus Christ was mythologized as the ‘Sun’ of God.”
BOOK OF BLACK EARTH consists of members of underground band Teen Cthulhu, as well as drummer Joe Axler of Skarp, Splatterhouse, and Iamthethorn, among others.
