The Violence

Description

Darren Hayman worked for 4 years on this collection of 20 tracks, a chronicle of the witch hunt in 17th-century Essex, during the English Civil War. 300 women executed for witchcraft. The 3rd volume of his trilogy about his native region after "Pram Town" and "Essex Arms", this is an album that deals with fear and isolation, the persecution of the weakest, and how "Violence" breeds fear and fear breeds greater violence. The concept and sound of this album are grand, carried by wind instruments, shaken by trembling strings, and devastated by church organs. CD in gatefold digipack with booklet.
