Dear friends, living or dead,
I couldn’t sleep this very day and so I crept out from my catacombs and write this little update while the nasty sun wents higher and higher. Well, after all even we undead are sleepless from time to time and have to stay up too long. But well, no problem at all. Maybe this happened cause there was so much doing lately? I don’t know.
Things are strange in music business currently. I guess you already recognized it. I am very glad that I am out of this business and happily call myself an Amateur. We all learned from Mr. Lovecraft himself, that beeing an Amateur is nothing bad. It gives you the freedom to do whatever you want and stop, were you begin to sell out. Good for CULTES DES GOULES, I daresay. I recently had several conversations with Jazz musicians about my music. They all were very impressed by the new, strange stuff I did and you will be able to listen to on Halloween this year.
They compared this to a guy called Moondog, who worked in NY the last century. Great guy, I admit meanwhile. And its really similar to me. Considering the appreciated feedback of real talented musicians, I am now able to say, that the music of CULTES DES GOULES is strange, obscure and terrible. You decide if it is terrible in a good or a bad way. At least it is – and there is no doubt about it – extremly extraordinary.
A band like CULTES DES GOULES will never have too much friends. Followers are of a special kind, total individual people without the need to have the “perfect” sound or to have the “hardest composition ever” (which usually results in a record of KORN). No. I am Amateur and my followers, and that are the most readers of this letter, really appreciate it. They get, what is long lost in todays music scene: extra ordinary music, with no tolerance to any style or cliche which currently exists. Thank you for beeing of my own kind and thank you for listening and sharing your personal darkness with me!
But I’ll stop now – the sun heats my room, I need to step back into the darkness of my catacombs.
Till we meet again,
Cy Ghul
*** CULTES DES GOULES announces new album title ***
The new album of CULTES DES GOULES will be THE STORY OF DAGON. And yes, you guessed it: it’s a concept album of the wellknown story of DAGON by H. P. Lovecraft. It will contain nearly 40 minutes of music. You’ll consider it to be more a radioplay than classic rock album. Please prepare for strange rythms, depressing and melancholic atmospheres and extraordinary arrangments.
