Proscriptor is more known as the drummer/mainman of Absu.
His project as Proscriptor is more than a little different to what Absu explore musically.
"The Venus Bellona" is a wonderfully strange & unique album based around the superstitions, folklore & mythology
of Proscriptor's ancestral bloodline which hails from Glencoe, Scotland.
Combined with occult themes, & Proscriptor's mystical being, this collection of songs is nothing short of interesting.
At times hypnotic, as evidenced in "I Am The One" with its verbal assault, & chimes,
while "Our Blood & Veins From the McGovern Regiment" is a more militaristic affair, with marching snare drums,
bag pipes, & the sinister Proscriptor injecting verbal hallucinations.
The diversity of "The Venus Bellona" is one of its impressive features, & the incorporation
of an extensive range of instruments (synths, percussion, acoustic guitar, grand piano, organs, mellotron & fife)
is both appealing as well as contributing to this fact.
The 20 Acts presented here range in sound from ambient/darkwave to experimental/acoustic/folk.
For a bit of "new wave" nostalgia, a twisted version of "I Ran (So Far Away)" (originally by A Flock of Seagulls)
is covered & given a bracing, & thoroughly entertaining, extreme metal treatment!
Released on golden CD as a multi fold-out digipack by Cruel Moon International (sub-label of Cold Meat Industry)
& also as a red vinyl on a limited edition of 726 copies.
