about

On the battlefield, distant cries of death and detonations resound. A horse’s neigh and bray. Conjurations of La Pucelle d'Orléans aka Joan of Arc’s military campaigns at Orléans, before meeting their fate of wrongful conviction and burning at the stake.

The debut album by the elusive industrial/power electronics duo Baglover ‘Throw Down the Gauntlet’ evokes themes of chivalry, crude theatres of war, and manuscript illuminations such as the book of hours Très riches heures du Duc de Berry, and celestial phenomenons, not unlike that which befell Nuremberg on 14 April 1561.

Woven into the sonic landscape is the melancholically beautiful and gut wrenching hurdy gurdy, an enigmatic melodic and drone-producing medieval instrument as seen in Dutch painter’s Bosch’ The Garden of Earthly Delight, skillfully performed by Jimi Hellinga (Elektrovolt, Zandvoort & Uilenbal) on tracks 'Mire of Dregs Pit of Misery' and 'Nourrit Parmi les Lis'.

‘Throw Down the Gauntlet’ is dark and atmospheric, channeling a wide range of instruments: incantations summoned by casio organs, vintage atmospheric choir pads, and various noise makers.
