As with previous records, the ensemble is made up of an all-star cast of talented musicians which include Lee Buford and Chip King of The Body, Alexander Hacke (Einsturzende Neubauten), Marissa Nadler, Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas), Mary Lattimore, Olivia Block, Eric Chaleff (Bloodiest), Dylan O’Toole and Ron DeFries of Indian, Bruce Lamont (Corrections House), Sanford Parker (Twilight), Mark Solotroff (Anatomy Of Habit) and Chris Brokaw (Come, Pullman). Robinson has long been fascinated with those whose habits or actions have set them beyond the reach of redemption. He continues to explore humanity’s darkest impulses and society’s response to them. The death of Father John Goeghan and the life of Don Carlo Gesualdo were starting points for the two epic compositions on ‘Night Of Your Ascension’. The title track, featuring the haunting vocal talents of Marissa Nadler, was as much influenced by Don Carlo Gesualdo’s horrific act as it was by the extreme nature of his compositions. There are many that have been inspired by Gesualdo’s imaginative and complex works, from Werner Herzog to Igor Stravinsky. All were perhaps drawn to the unanswerable question whether or not the violence of his life was related to the violence of his music. Robinson, while intrigued by that question, focuses on evoking the extreme nature of Gesualdo’s act while using the man’s music as a vehicle. The resulting composition is compelling and the hopes are that we ask why such horror is so captivating to the collective mindset. ‘Run Priest Run’ traces the death of Father John Geoghan, a priest convicted of child sex crimes who was violently executed by an inmate whilst in solitary confinement. The piece opens in a cold, dank space, evocative of the cell where the violent scene happened. As rumbling bass and brooding drums usher our killer into the frame (the hair raising shrieks of The Body’s Chip King), the track takes us into the depth of horror of that cell and the minds of those within it. Robinson has long been pre-occupied with society’s unwanted, observing the horror of their acts while trying to identify with their conflict. ‘Night Of Your Ascension’ is a commentary on our own fascination with blood lust and our seemingly insatiable appetite for lurid depictions of depravity. The music on this record is as hauntingly beautiful as it is brutal; the questions it provokes are weighty. Initial LP copies pressed on white vinyl. LPs include digital download card. Album photography and design by David Yow (The Jesus Lizard). “Nothing short of a vast sonic landscape from the bleakest stretches of ambiance to the highest peaks of gorgeously challenging heavy music” – Steel For Brains “A roiling blend of drone, funeral doom, and black metal that grows to Olympian heights” – Stereogum “Robinson’s triumph is maintaining the sonic extremes for as long as he does” – Exclaim “The sound of a descent into madness, though menacingly controlled at every turn” – Consequence Of Sound Artist Wrekmeister Harmonies Genre Rock And Pop Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Night Of Your Ascension Run Priest Run Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Wrekmeister Harmonies and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Wrekmeister Harmonies The Alone Rush (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 13th April 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wrekmeister Harmonies The Alone Rush (Indies Only) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL458LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wrekmeister Harmonies The Alone Rush Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th April 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wrekmeister Harmonies The Alone Rush £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL458LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wrekmeister Harmonies Light Falls Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wrekmeister Harmonies Light Falls £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL421LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pink Floyd P.U.L.S.E (Restored & Re-Edited) Blu-ray / DVD Rock And Pop | Rhino | BluRay, DVD Released 18th February 2022 £43.00 - £50.00 Select options Pink Floyd P.U.L.S.E (Restored & Re-Edited) Blu-ray / DVD £43.00 - £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino Formats: BluRay, DVD Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Albin Lee Meldau About You Rock And Pop | Capitol / Astral Weeks | 1LP Released 1st June 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Albin Lee Meldau About You £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Capitol / Astral Weeks SKU: 2567443131 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Britney Spears Britney Rock And Pop | Sony | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st March 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Britney Spears Britney £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 19658779141 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Monkees, The The Monkees (Deluxe Edition) Rock And Pop | Run Out Groove | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th July 2021 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Monkees, The The Monkees (Deluxe Edition) £43.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Run Out Groove SKU: 0081227906238 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mott The Hoople Mott Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 19th July 2010 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mott The Hoople Mott £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP126 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th July 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Khan Ben Khan Rock And Pop | Dirty Hit | 1LP Released 10th August 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Khan Ben Khan £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dirty Hit SKU: DH296 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Henry's Funeral Shoe Donkey Jacket Rock And Pop | Alive | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th October 2011 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Henry's Funeral Shoe Donkey Jacket £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0125 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
