Rites of Hadda - Witchpunk

This third issue is our most ecological release yet with the packaging on post consumer recycled cardboard and vegan and plastic free, using a cork stopper to hold the CD in place.

Rather than create a market for the further plastic of new CD's we have collected unwanted and unused CD-r's and burnt the reissue ourselves and coupled it with the most ecological packaging possible.

Songs recorded and produced at Dissident Sound Industry (Tottenham) by Tom Shot! (2018)

All songs written by Rites of Hadda except 'Queen Wasp' by Pilar Awa and Rites of Hadda.

Front cover artwork conceived by Gareth "Bez" Berwyn

lyrics

The orchids burn
and the juices flow
Seering my abdomen
My cries aglow

From the wounds in my groin
The mounds of my pleasure
My prahna ebbs
I have lost what I treasure

Supine and vulnerable
Like at no other time
The chill through the window
Brings hope alive

The death god breezes past me
And leaves to the fool anew
And from the inside
Chattering louder grew

Face down in the abyss
With no destination vision
I fear I've seen what I'm too become
Initiation into the final ritual

Five aspects
Acquisitions lived
This path I know
Will take more than I can give

This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
