Released earlier this year, the new King Dude album sees them embracing even more the rock side. of their music, without leaving the country/folk side that's been present from the beginning. The sound is still influenced by Johnny Cash, but this time with large amounts of Tom Waits in to the cauldron, creating truly catchy songs such as Clooven Hooves (Of Fear), Bottomless Pit or Fear Is All You Know. The themes remain the same, with stories of occultism mixed with love, fear and everyday life. Since we don't have a new Tom Waits album this year, this might very well be our salvation! |

On the 13th of December it's set the first date of THE GIDDY CAROUSEL TOUR, with Death In June headlining and accompanied by Solblot, Camerata Mediolanense and Die Weisse Rose, making it a wonderful and intense night to attend. Despite the lack of information regarding more dates of this tour, we'll be waiting to hear more confirmations of what we hope to be another lenghty european tour!
«Antillia (or Antilia) is a phantom island that was reputed, during the 15th-century age of exploration, to lie in the Atlantic Ocean, far to the west of Portugal and Spain. The island also went by the name of Isle of Seven Cities (Ilha das Sete Cidades (Portuguese), Septe Cidades).
It originates from an old Iberian legend, set during the Muslim conquest of Hispania c. 714. Seeking to flee from the Muslim conquerors, seven Christian Visigothic bishops embarked with their flocks on ships and set sail westwards into the Atlantic Ocean, eventually landing on an island (Antilha) where they founded seven settlements. The island makes its first explicit appearance as a large rectangular island in the 1424 portolan chart of Zuane Pizzigano. Thereafter, it routinely appeared in most nautical charts of the 15th century. After 1492, when the north Atlantic Ocean began to be routinely sailed, and became more accurately mapped, depictions of Antillia gradually disappeared. It nonetheless lent its name to the Spanish Antilles. The routine appearance of such a large "Antillia" in 15th-century nautical charts has led to speculation that it might represent the American landmass, and has fueled many theories of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact.» |
