comment...: |
The debut album from Bestia Astrum (aka Abby Helasdottir / GYDJA) is a
grim exploration of Fury 161, the prison planet from the movie Alien³.
An industrial ambient travelogue of the spaces in the planet's dark and
rusty facility, beginning on a wind-swept shore and ending in the
eternal repose of stony sleep.More than just an alternate soundtrack to
a film, "Fury 161" takes cues from the long and troubled production of
Alien³, incorporating themes from earlier concepts proposed during its
development hell, including the treatment created by Vincent Ward, who
imagined the movie's location as a wooden planet that was home to an
order of space monks.Motifs of eremitic religiosity permeate the album,
as well as themes of Yeatsian apocalypticism, abject anatomy, and the
intersection between the sacred and the profane, betwixt the beautiful
and the grotesque.Full colour matt-laminate digipak with gold spot
colour, accompanied by a 16-page booklet with an essay by Abby
Helasdottir.Promo
