An introduction to suffering

Current 93’s collaboration with violinist Michael Cashmore and guitarist Christoph Heemann unfolds across sparse, dissonant arrangements that blur neofolk’s narrative weight with modern classical austerity. Released on Durtro, this introduction to suffering channels the group’s apocalyptic sensibility through acoustic instrumentation—tremolo strings, fingerpicked guitars, and whispered vocals creating a chamber music atmosphere thick with dread. The experimental production strips away Current 93’s usual layering, leaving raw emotional exposure.
