And Ever the Pyres of the Dead Burn Thick

howdy y'all -

well, here's this week's Kicksville release, And Ever the Pyres of the Dead Burn Thick. It's built around three poems by the legendary writer, John Beecher - and it ain't pretty....

Enjoy!

thanks a lot, Terry!

Heh...Kicksville kind of specializes in being not what you'd expect We go from African trance (like Sansan) to Ministry-like silliness (Krankypants) and even the occasional cover (like Who Do You Love).... Keeps it interesting for us!

thanks, Guitarpima! Vocal level noted....it's already been released, but this may be another one I revisit when we release the "collector's edition".

The poems this piece is built around were written in the early 60s, but unfortunately they could have been written 6 months ago..... John Beecher was an amazing poet and decades ahead of his time as a civil and labor rights activist, but since he was blacklisted in the 50s, most folks have never heard of him. Which is really too bad - his poetry is incredibly powerful, and holds true whether it was written in 1928 or 1968.
