Yesterday, Belgian solo project Dead Man’s Hill released a new full-length Inner Journeys Through The Living Temples Of Water via Noctivagant Records.  

The man behind Dead Man’s Hill, Bart Piette, dedicated this album to the spirits of water. The work is conceived by meditations and shamanic journeying in, to and through four sacred springs: two in Belgium (Minnebron and Hertebron) and two in Glastonbury, UK (White Spring and Chalice Well/Red Spring). Each track on this album is infused with the specific energies of these springs. This results in a trance-inducing ambient document.

The album has been specially developed to descend into the subterranean caverns where these inner temples are located and to follow the water through the subterranean water streams. It can be used for shamanic journeying to, in and through these sacred places, for meeting with the spirits of water, or to work generally with the element of Water.

Dead Man’s Hill was formed in 1998 by Bart Piette, also known by the name Piette Yetayi. His intention was "making dark and cold music, especially influenced by The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, and early In Slaughter Natives, but with a more aggressive feel, by incorporating black/death metal influences. The lyrics of Dead Man's Hill revolve around Haïtian voodoo cultists (Culte des morts) and the sickness/cancer that mankind is”, as he stated himself. Although  Dead Man’s Hill sound kept changing a lot during the years, ritual dark ambient-industrial, neoclassical and bombastic martial genres host it best. Dead Man's Hill project released a lot of music material, only yesterday - the newest and perhaps most meditative one.

Inner Journeys Through The Living Temples Of Water is available on Bandcamp (100 copies - limited edition) and in the player below. Also the video of the third track "Chalice Well/Red Spring" awaits you there. Link
