For the month of June we're happy to share a full stream of Capra Hircus by TenHornedBeast, the ritual drone project of Christopher Walton. The record will release this month via Cold Spring Records.
TenHornedBeast last released The Lamp Of No Light in 2022, and Capra Hircus is an intentional change of direction, focusing on hypnotic and psychedelic tones to mimic the landscape of Cheviot hills. The album name refers to the regions wild goats that have long inhabited the region.
Walton played with Endvra in the 1990s and has been recording as TenHornedBeast since the early 2000s.
Speaking of the new record, he says:
I dream in landscapes and this is very much an "outdoor" album. When I was recording these pieces I was hoping to capture the openness and sense of wonder that I get from the high places. I've walked these hills for many years, where earth and sky meet and I was searching for a new way to be TenHornedBeast, although it's very much the same ideas that inspired me twenty years ago – just seen in colour.
