Continuing in our Hallows Eve revelry, we turn to Theologian‘s new release Some Things Have To Endured, out this month on Crucial Blast. Theologian is the noise/industrial artist Lee M. Bartow, also known as Leech, and he has made all kinds of wicked racket as Navicon Torture Technologies since 1997. On Some Things Have To Be Endured, Bartow teams up with a host of female vocalists from the industrial, noise, darkwave realms, and beyond, and the album includes contributions from Kristen MacArthur (Sewer Goddess), Nikki Telladictorian (Prometheus Burning), Rachael Kozak (Hecate), Patricia Benitez (Fetish Drone), Gillian Leigh Bowling (Teloahqaal), the professional opera singer Melissa C. Kelly, and more! This record was co-produced by Derek Rush (Dream Into Dust), mastered by James Plotkin, and it comes in a full-color, six panel, DVD size digi-pack, adorned with the kind amazing artwork from Ione Rucquoi that you see above. Bleak and harsh, and beautiful in it’s way, Theologian’s Some Things Have To Be Endured celebrates the ancient cult of the Goddess with 8 tracks of sonic blasphemy…
