    uniE621 Wallowitch - Purple Death (Album release, 2023)
    https://www.twine.net/signin This final incarnation of Wallowitch's Purple Death was borne of a time when a plague was knocking on our crypts. "Hither", time intoned, "I am never so pertinent as in this moment of fruition. Release the bats, even if they scare ye bones". The 6 track record was recorded in a series of bursts of energy, with periods of introspection in-between. Now, many of these songs will be favourites for live performance, well-imbued with the world beyond. Artwork by Wallowitch. Released November 3, 2023 Mixed by Wallowitch Mastered by Rose Windeler. Special thanks to Duncan Nairn and Bryan Gordon Moliere Tabuteau for their insight, John Carino at the British Film Institute, and Geoff Watson at Trackdown Digital. graphicdesigner illustrator No AI was used in the creation of this project.
