John Zorn: Six Litanies for Heliogabalus [#7361]

“The infamous Moonchild/AstronomeTrio of Patton, Dunn and Baron returns to the studio this time aided by the searing organ of Jamie Saft, the complex electronics of Ikue Mori and a small female chorus to realize Zorn’s latest project Six Litanies for Heliogabalus. Inspired by the decadent excesses of the Roman emperor/child-god who made Caligula and Nero look like reasonable human beings—smothering his dinner guests to death in a rain of perfumed rose petals—these six compositions (including an outrageous new piece for solo voice) explode with color, imagery and intensity. A startling blend of Metal, Contemporary Classical, Jazz and Mediaeval Music, this is one of Zorn’s most extreme and original creations.”

Billy Gould plays in Harmful

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Seems like bill gould has found a new band. He seems to be the fourth member in the german band “Harmful”. Here is the original content from harmfulweb.de, for all of you who can read in german:

“05.12.06 / Da nun schon seit einer Weile ein Gerücht kursiert und wir von vielen Seiten darauf angesprochen worden sind machen wir es nun ganz offiziell. Ja, die Gerüchte sind wahr. Billy Gould, ex-FAITH NO MORE Bassist und Gründungsmitglied steigt bei HARMFUL ein. Als 4. Bandmember wird er Gitarre spielen und den HARMFUL Sound dabei um ein schönes Klangspektrum erweitern. Auf der Tour im März des kommenden Jahres wird Billy Gould schon mit dabei sein. Dort könnt Ihr Euch dann livehaftig davon überzeugen. Hier schon die 100% bestätigten Termine der “HARMFUL” Tour 2007.”

Gould is to be a guitarplayer in that band. Seems very interesting. Harmful is one of the few innovative German underground bands, successfull since several years.
