Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin have released their new album Stygian Bough Vol. II, available now from Profound Lore, and announced a series of tour dates.
Bassist Dylan Desmond comments:
“The connective threads that shape and influence the culture, mythology, and customs of all human societies throughout time in unique, localized ways.”
While also discussing the album artwork, created by acclaimed artist Denis Forkas:
“Denis Forkas’ cover art immediately spoke to me with the symbolism of the severed head. In conjunction with Stygian Bough’s aligning with James Frazer’s book The Golden Bough, the branch of symbology concerning severed heads throughout human societies is fascinating. No doubt, this fascination has been shared by many of our ancestors as well as those yet to come; it is something of our identity.”
