"Mors Syphilitica is the musical extension of husband and wife team Eric and Lisa Hammer. As with the group's previous releases, Feather and Fate evokes an ethereal, nearly anachronistic atmosphere, featuring mellow acoustic as well as effects driven guitars, melodic bass, mandolin, medium paced drum beats, and beautiful female vocals.
"FEATHER AND FATE" CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT iTunes NOW!!!
..
These artists understand and utilize the dramatic potentials of both diminished quiet and crescendo strength in their sound, and integrate such disparate genres as opera, bluegrass, and gothic rock. "Between Feather and Fate" and the splendid "My Virgin Widows" represent folk bluegrass inspiration. "Glorious Breath" and "Far from Loneliness" exemplify ethereal influences. "Chains of Reason" is a neo-classical gothic waltz. Awesome tracks "Naturally Cruel" and "A Fever Dream" provide the most poignant, powerful moments on the album, with tribal drum lines and chill inducing harmonic developments.
Relative to Mors Syphilitica's earlier recordings, Feather and Fate finds Lisa using more variety in her vocal style, with her gorgeous hallmark operatic voice alternating with a more traditional, though still beautiful, song vocal type. In general, the sentiment on this album is more joyful than on their earlier Primrose (which happens to be one of my favorite albums); many of the tracks on Feather and Fate are upbeat and in major keys.
Nevertheless, it still manages to portray the emotional weight of the deepest of longing, the most passionate of romance, the most bittersweet of nostalgia, and the most poignant of joy." - Outburn Magazine

In the first three months of production I have sold 22 Persona Series Cassettes. These albums are completely original 45 minute recordings, named after the purchaser who also retains full rights to further production of, and broadcast of the release. Each Persona Tape comes with 2 hand drawn mini posters, and a hand drawn cover. This is the most unique and exciting release you will ever own, order yours now for $10 (domestic shipping included, international shipping determined by distance) while I still feel like making them! Thanks for your time, and thanks for letting me advertise on this site :)
I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
I have decided to dedicate the majority of my time to recording and selling albums. Currently I am on a Cassette kick, and everything that I am self releasing, or releasing on the label I own and operate (Kapustin Yar Records) is now on Tape. Prices will remain as low as possible on said products, because Tapes are for die hard collectors or Cassette enthusiasts only these days. The majority of albums I release on other labels, which is a larger and larger number month by month, are still being released on CD. That being said, I have recently recorded for The Persona Series (albums for individuals, named after their purchaser, with the owner retaining all rights and receiving 2 mini posters for $10 postage paid), which has been very successful. I have recorded a 90 minute Cassette, High Above The Horizon, which is available for $4 postage paid, and The Blood Album Part 2 for $4 postage paid. Please help me to continue pumping out these and other albums by ordering these crazy Tapes today!!!
