EIGHTH TOWER PRESENTS MYSTERIUM, INCUBUS ET TERROR (A POE AUDIO HOMAGE)

As part of Raffaele Pezzella/Eighth Tower Records' dark salutes, Mysterium, Incubus et Terror enters listeners' ears as an audio homage to Edgar Allan Poe's macabre tales. 

The tracks capture the author's exotic mystique in a way that surrounds the mind and shackles the heart, creeping forth as follows (first by composer/performer and then by legendary label): 

1) Morgan Wurder Feat. David Strother ... The Masque of the Red Death

2)  Mombi Yuleman ... The Premature Burial

3) Kloob & Onasander ... The Descent Into the Maelstrom 

4) Rapoon ... The Fall of the House of Usher

5)  Mario Lino Stancati ... Ligeia

I have listened to this amazing sojourn several times over, absorbing its anguished sweeps and inebriating echoes, and I still feel drawn to its vast insinuations. It's become an addiction, but then, Poe's haunting works do work that way, especially when filtered by such adroit creators.
