Cold Spring presents the brand-new album of shimmering, heathen drone from TenHornedBeast -- the ritual doom-drone project of Christopher Walton (Endvra). The wild goats (Capra Hircus) of the Cheviot hills have lived there for millennia and are the Avatars of the wild places. If there is a heathenry left on this island, it is to be found the places where the wild goats gather, in the secret valleys and alongside nameless burns. They are the Children of Pan in an Arcadia that straddles both the imagination and the real world. This is TenHornedBeast intentionally moving in a different direction from the cryptic doom-ambient of 2022's The Lamp Of No Light (CSR 312CD). Capra Hircus is full of the glowing sunrise of hill-top psychedelia and shimmering, spiraling drones that mimic the abstract lines of the rock-art panels that mark the landscape. The music flows outwards and immerses the listener in looping, hypnotic waves of feedback. CD in six-panel flood-printed matt digipak with photographs taken by Christopher Walton on the High Places of Pennine Horeb.
