Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat - Turn Hegel on his Head 7" / Digital Download

The young wizard of dark, apocalyptic folk (Belgium's Stef Irritant) unfurls his first vinyl release, a 7" using Hegel's dialectic's as the conceptual foundation. The A-side builds with a slow, brooding repetition of chants and swirling acoustics before exploding into a battle cry filled with personal emotion and lyrical venom aimed at those in power who suppress the desire for human progress. The B-side is a delicate, somber requiem to our lost potential. Easily, some of the strongest material yet from KTAOABC. Complimented by the artwork of Kristof Meers from his series, "the Inversion Of Hierarchy" and pressed on white vinyl.

"The combination of folk, rock, punk and a full-fledged irreverence towards any pre-estalished style or structure is the strongest bet of 'Turning Hegel on his Head'. It traps you in its naiveté and then tears you down into crude emotion." -Heathen Harvest

"...a hypnotic, intoxicating mix of repetitive folk strumming, loping slo-mo tribal drums, strange avant electronics in the background, and most of all, the alternately mesmerizing and horrifying vocals of Stef Irritant. Those put off by the band's name will never know that they're missing one of the greatest bands to come sailing down the river in a long time. " -Dead Angel

"Completely marvelous. 8/10" -Creative Eclipse

"These Belgian doom folkers could teach Greg Weeks a thing or two about medieval psych-drone rituals, dishing out two sides worth of ghoulish string bowing, acoustic tangles and dark incantatory magicks. You get the impression this might be what Current 93 would sound like if David Tibet was from the Lowland countries. Ace." -Boomkat
