TITHING – ALL THEY MYSTERY´S END [LTD150] – LP

Description

Re-emerging from one’s own spiritual abyss with a jewel of truth for the world is the final stage of a long initiatory journey. It is with “At the Mystery’s End”, that TITHING (neé Tithe) steps forth into a new beginning, not solely as a new entity, but at the end of a grandiose evolution towards something greater. Eleven songs traverse the arcana of the soul and explore the deeply poignant process of reawakening after a long and stagnant nigredo. Wandering melodies and powerful orchestration ebb and flow between S.P Haché’s complex finger-picking, while his character baritone is joined by a myriad of voices to spin occult tales with arcane allegory and surreptitious symbolism.

Each autobiographical song was conceived with a specific symbol set in mind, informing the words, tonality, and even the instrumentation chosen to sympathetically enhance the magic at work. What emerged is a haunting dark folk balancing sumptuous bombast and subtle beauty, extracting inspiration from World Serpent’s glory days and the lush largesse of 2000s post-industrial luminaries. Walking the path of the Fool’s journey, Tithing has traversed the Abyss to transmute the ashes of the past into a fresh vision of Spiritual gold.
