MB37 - Split with WORSHIP

by Morbid Beauty

/
1.
In Mesopotamian mythology, Lamashtu was a female demon, monster, malevolent goddess or demigoddess who menaced women during childbirth and, if possible, kidnapped their children while they were breastfeeding. She would gnaw on their bones and suck their blood, as well as being charged with a number of other evil deeds. She was a daughter of the Sky God Anu.
2.
Drekavac, (literally "the screamer" or "the screecher", also called drekalo, krekavac, zdrekavac or zrikavac, is a mythical creature in South Slavic mythology. The name is derived from the verb "drečati" ("to screech").
3.
Eglė the Queen of Serpents is one of the best-known Lithuanian fairy tales with many references to the Baltic mythology. Over a hundred slightly diverging versions of the plot have been collected. The tale features not only human–reptile shapeshifting, but irreversible human–tree shapeshifting as well.
4.
Akhkhazu is a female demon from the Akkadic mythology. Her Sumerian name is Dimme-kur. She is also called "the seizer". She brings fever and plagues and is a member of a trio of female demons (Labasu, Labartu, Akhkhazu). Despite the fact the word "Akhkhazu" has a male gender, Akhkazu is often described as having a female nature.
5.
Pazuzu, a god or demon, was invoked to protect birthing mothers and infants against Lamashtu's malevolence, usually on amulets and statues. Although Pazuzu was said to be bringer of famine and drought, he was also invoked against evil for protection, and against plague, but he was primarily and popularly invoked against his fierce, malicious rival Lamashtu. Incantation against Lamaštu: Great is the daughter of Heaven who tortures babies Her hand is a net, her embrace is death She is cruel, raging, angry, predatory A runner, a thief is the daughter of Heaven She touches the bellies of women in labor She pulls out the pregnant women's baby The daughter of Heaven is one of the Gods, her brothers With no child of her own. Her head is a lion's head Her body is a donkey's body She roars like a lion She constantly howls like a demon-dog.
6.
This track was made using my vocals, along with the recording of one of the exorcisms of Anneliese Michel. Anna Elisabeth "Anneliese" Michel (21 September 1952 – 1 July 1976) was a German woman who underwent 67 Catholic exorcism rites during the year before her death. She died of malnutrition, for which her parents and priest were convicted of negligent homicide. She was diagnosed with epileptic psychosis (temporal lobe epilepsy) and had a history of psychiatric treatment, which was overall not effective.
7.
Gello, in Greek mythology, is a female demon or revenant who threatens the reproductive cycle by causing infertility, miscarriage, and infant mortality. By the Byzantine era, the gelloudes were considered a class of beings. Women believed to be under demonic possession by gelloudes might stand trial or be subjected to exorcism. Gyllou, Gylou, Gillo, or Gelu are some of its alternate forms.

about

MB half made April 21st-24th 2022.

Really awesome to work on this concept with WORSHIP, of an hour long album about female demons, spirits and possessions; one half brutally chaotic, one half more meditative, each with our own style of cover art.

Lots of expertly made harsh and ambient noise wall albums with beautiful feminine form covers here:

All the imagery to do with this album is in the download, including all of WORSHIP's versions of the cover and tracks.
