Ramesses proudly unleash Justin Broadrick’s vision of Possessed By The Rise of Magik for vinyl! Not just a title, Possessed By The Rise Of Magik is more a statement in response to the cathartic affects of this album, once you submit yourselves, it is impossible to resist its deadly charms. It sees the band capturing the ritualistic side of their nature to great effect without resorting to costumes props and make-up. They incorporate the ideas, images and symbols of influential occult British artist Austin Osman Spare into their own spaced-out grim craft to create a new magikal language (the spelling of the word as ‘magik’ as opposed to the traditional ‘magic’ or Crowley's own ‘magick’ reflects this thought process).
Recording in trances and automatic writing are key techniques in the creation of this next step in the Ram family's journey to the end!
