Red Ocher is the paint used for centuries in funeral rites and decoration of sacred objects. Its use was widespread among the Adena. Stone tablets with various designs have been found in Adena archaeological sites, believed to be used as "stampers" to dip into the red ocher paint and adorn the deceased. Lyrics are from "Delaware and Shawnee Vocabularies Recorded by Major Ebeneezer Denny at Fort M'Intosh & Fort Finney in 1785-1786." Despite speculation, no one knows what language was spoken by the ancient moundbuilders, so I chose words from later inhabitants of the Ohio Valley, the Shawnee.
“Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.”

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Le son des pieds qui s'enfoncent dans la neige, un black metal atmosphérique qui s'abat comme une tempête de grêle et tranche la peau, des violons polaires : Roads To The North est aussi glacial qu'un album de Paysage d'Hiver (surtout Schnee). En tout cas au début. Panopticon nous invite en fait moins à une méditation statique qu'à une randonnée, une ascension jusqu'aux sommets. On y accède à pieds en surpassant la douleur, en train en profitant du folklore. C'est un grand parcours initiatique. Jordan Vauvert
