Karl Maria Wiligut
Notes:
These songs were recorded in the years 1.992-1.994. They are based on the "Gotos=Kalanda", a cycle of twelve spiritual poems dedicated to the twelve months of the year written by the Austrian poet and runes initiate Karl Maria Wiligut (1.866-1.946).
The cover photograph shows the dodecagonal marble hall of the Wewelsburg, an ancient castle in Westphalia, with the emblem of a black sun with twelve rays on the floor.
"Gotos=Kalanda" is dedicated to Ostara, Ernte, Blood Axis.

My all time favourite Allerseelen CD. The Austrian one-man band is here at the best of its ritual-industrial period, with intelligent use of folk music samples combined with marching industrial rhythms. "Ernting" is a very menacing and disturbing anthem, while "Brachmond" just send shivers down your spine. "Gotos=Kalanda" is a poem based on the 12 months of the year, written by Karl Maria Wiligut, poet, runes' initiate, and close collaborator of Heinrich Himmler. The cover picture with the 12-rayed black sun was taken in Castle Wewelsburg, the former SS stronghold in Westfalen, Germany. What I call a controversial CD...
