about

頭足類 (Tōsokurui no), is the debut album from人柱二 (Hitobashira ni)

ABOUT
人柱二 (hitobashira ni), (English translation 'two human pillars' with reference to the Japanese practice of burying a person alive in the foundations of a new building for good luck.) are a Japanese collective formed by English horror film critic & writer James Patrick Blackden Marriott. While exploring northern Japan in the year 2010, Marriott was climbing Mount Osore, the legendary gateway to hell, where he had a flashback vision of the tiny malevolent dwarves he had first encountered during a yage trip on an earlier journey to the Amazon. They commanded him to initiate a musical project that would psychically communicate and propagate their malevolent ideology. In July 2012 Marriott tragically died in mysterious circumstances before he could begin to take an active role in the recording sessions; the surviving members forged ahead with the project. These recordings mark the culmination of James' vision.
