tried typing out “jhonn balance” and it autocorrected to moon balance. I feel like he’d appreciate this

Totally neglected to mention that you can now listen to Red Goddess (of this men shall know nothing) via our Bandcamp page (and order CD/LP w/ complementary download). Very pleased with reception of this album so far - people have been saying some nice things. "Where some attempts at exploring the intersection of the metaphysical and eerie with the human body can feel rather Fisher Price Witch Outfit, Hawthonn's rigorous approach to researching their subject matter and the depth of emotional heft in the music makes this a deeply compelling record." - Luke Turner, The Quietus

"... an unusual and sometimes challenging structure and arc, as pieces range from 3 minutes to 15 minutes and alternately resemble an ancient pagan ceremony; a seance, a vivid nightmare, or a funereal dirge [...] At their best, Hawthonn sound like temporally dislocated druids recording cryptic hymnals to the earth's less traveled places." - Anthony D'Amico, Brainwashed “It's perhaps enough to evoke mystic imagery with spooky music, but, as evidenced here, Hawthonn fully studies and embodies its occult themes with academic rigor.” - Lars Gotrich, NPR Music

The moon is (almost) full and creating an impressive halo outside our window, compelling me to share this small tribute on the eve of Jhonn's death-day... Of course, the original is such a phenomenal track nothing can come close - so all attempts by either of us to add a vocal track were best omitted. The original idea was to create a 'variation' using not only inversions and retrogrades of the original Batwings theme, but to also develop a set of variant lyrics from other passages of Browne's Musaeum Clausum - I was surprised that "A noble Quandros, or Stone taken from a Vulture’s head" wasn't in the original! Going through this procedure made me even more deeply appreciate the genius of Sleazy's production and Jhonn's vocals and visionary approach to the cut-up technique. You might hear a few other tributary passages in there, too... to Hellraiser and the Sea Priestess (at the end)...
