Synopsis

Product Description
Forming from the rain-soaked Seattle soil in late 2003, BOOK OF BLACK EARTH circa 2008 boasts a sound equally as dreary and evil as the blackened skies that set upon many a cool, damp day in the band s hometown. Now, BOOK OF BLACK EARTH, with Horoskopus, builds upon the band s five year history of sound one that has yielded praise from the likes of Decibel, Terrorizer and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and ultimately spews forth an all-encompassing, weighty concept album deep in thought, dark in mind, and undeniably heavy in both sound and story.

"Horoskopus is about hidden astrological elements of the Christian church, vocalist/guitarist T.J. Cowgill says. From its origins as a state sponsored religion in the fourth century to the present day, it has been guided by astrological concepts conceived centuries before Jesus Christ was mythologized as the Sun of God."
