A very exciting release comes from Bestial Mouths, not only because it is comprised of reworks of the band's emblematic gothic songs, but because these new takes come by way of some of the genre's current finest, including Adult., Ash Code, SRSQ, Light Asylum and many more.
(A) SIREN CALLS was originally part of RESURRECTEDINBLACK, one of 2020's very finest albums, and through the capable hands of Philadelphia-based musician Shari Vari aka Void Vision, it is presented in a rather ominous darkwave tone, while it maintains the medieval element which makes the track a special part of Bestial Mouths' catalog.
"It was an honor and pleasure for me to be asked to remix Bestial Mouths," Shari Vari says. "As someone who has known Lynette for over a decade, I've always been in awe of her banshee-like voice and powerful presence, and as someone with eclectic musical taste, It was also fun for me to be able to play in sonic territory that goes beyond what I normally do with Void Vision. This particular song stuck out to me on the album. I didn't want to ruin its rawness and emotional atmosphere by trying to turn it into a 4/4 dancefloor hit, but I did want to experiment with some rhythmic elements. It was difficult to find the right balance. The end result is something that I think juxtaposes beauty and harshness and marries them together."
The entirety of THOUSANDNEEDLES releases May 5th, 2021.
