OSTARA - VINYL NAPOLEONIC BLUES [VINYL]

Popis - NAPOLEONIC BLUES [VINYL]:
Ostara has been Richard Leviathan's neofolk solo project since 2002. Inspired by the famous picture of the defeated emperor at Fontainebleu, 'Napoleonic Blues' is a reflection on the persistence of the past in the chaos of the present, history's long shadow that refuses to dissolve. Echoing lines from the Roman poet Horace, the battle hymns of the Crusades, the rebirth of the Islamic Caliphate, the siege of Gaza, the collapse of Detroit and the meditations of St. John of the Cross, this is a journey through the night and fog that lingers like the smoke of an eternal flame. Limited to 265 copies on 200-gram vinyl.
