“Previous Peni incarnations have never sounded like this, though one did actually out peni the Peni!” – Nick Blinko of Rudimentary Peni after listening to this recording.

All Lyrics by Rudimentary Peni
Musical Interpretations and performance by Chelsea Wolfe

1. A HANDFUL OF DUST
I will show you fear in a handful of dust

2: ECHO
language of agony, torment in sound. weeping of ancestors formed into words. the echo of anguish, primeval sorrow

3: BLACK ON GOLD / SICKENING FOR SOMETHING
lapis lazuli turquoise and amethyst black on gold viridian and jasmine tan and black ruby and cinnabar dove grey puke pink onyx and bronze vermillion and amber jade and amber black on gold 454 Angell Street Black on gold green to feel blue gawd those colors opium madness unleashed! supreme final ecstasy.
give me that decanter, eliot!

4: DISSOLUTION/REHEARSAL FOR MORTALITY
it matters not that i did seek, to conquer fear and vanquish pain, for victory belongs to grief, so into tears dissolve in vain.
in this rehearsal for mortality I learn acceptance and can no longer return with such tenacity to cling to all that is me to all that is me

5: PRAYER FOR THE UNBORN
let us rest in oblivion forever and ever amen

It’s fitting that Chelsea Wolfe’s second album opens with a hair-raising, animalistic snarl — the sound of some beastly metamorphosis caught on tape. Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “apokalypsis”) finds the L.A.- based artist perfecting her distinctly doom-drenched electric folk. Here she graduates from mobile 8-track experimentation to an actual studio, enlisting a few friends to help even as she maintains the strikingly visceral elements of her powerful debut, The Grime & the Glow (2010). The end result is a both a broader sprawl and a tighter claustrophobia, a serious heaviness of sound and spirit prone to unexpected moments of beauty and triumph. Rightly, the album’s title is Greek for both “apocalypse” and “revelation.” Wolfe’s gift for tense beauty reigns supreme on “Tracks (Tall Bodies),” where warm guitar, cavernous drums, and her beguiling voice engender an elemental feeling of regret in tune with the words: It’s a machine we’re up against/Devoid of reason, devoid of sense.” The upbeat “Demons” follows, seemingly as counterpoint, rolling forth on a damaged surf beat and becoming a careening steam engine of scratchy thrash and tortured cries. Later, “Moses” demonstrates what Wolfe may very well do best, cooing choral over grinding Sabbathy guitars, somehow hinting at an odd ebullience hidden in the dirging murk. Though Ἀποκάλυψις’s tone is decidedly dark, it’s a dynamic album, evidenced by buzzing, organ-soaked soul of “The Wasteland,” the clanging blues of “Friedrichshain,” and the haunted ambience of “To the Forest, To the Sea,” which feels like a field recording from the bewitched woods of Wolfe’s youth. The LP’s undeniable high point however, is the unforgettable “Pale on Pale.” The seven-minute song slowly bores its way into the listener’s skull thanks to Wolfe’s ghostly moan — which deals death at every lyrical turn — and the thick black metal chords that push it along. Somewhere between the blood-curdling scream and squalling feedback that close out the track, transcendence is achieved, and Wolfe’s transformation into a true force of nature is complete.

MATER SUSPIRIA VISION Exorcism of the Hippies BANNED VERSION (2010) from Mater Suspiria Vision.

—–

Review from AQUARIUS RECORDS, 03/24/11

“For all the Witch House music out there, it seems like very little of it actually gets released. Instead it’s shared, and downloaded, offered on Soundcloud and various other sites, occasionally released as super limited cd-r’s, but proper releases are few and far between.
As far as we know this may very well be the first proper release (definitely the first and only vinyl, there’s been a cd-r and a cassette) from the mysterious collective called Mater Suspiria Vision, purveyors of witch house, or perhaps ghost drone, haunted disco trance, or even drag, depending on who you ask. The sound of witch house, for the uninitiated, is a twisted hybrid of classic goth, nineties techno, DJ Screw style slowed down sounds (hence the term drag), and all manner of spooky creepy atmospheres, horror movies, giallo soundtracks, all woven into a witchy bit of electronic psychedelic creepiness. And the various monikers tend to be heavy on the strange symbols that you get by pressing option or control on your keyboards, you know, little black triangles, tiny crosses, all those sorts of zapf dingbats style icons. Anyway, Salem is probably the most high profile witch house combo out there, but of all the other outfits we’ve heard, Mater Suspiria Vision is probably the only other group that comes close to conjuring up the same sort of mystery, coupled with the same sort of sonic heft.
No idea if MSV is a group or a person, it seems to be some sort of collective, or where they’re located, all of their various pages list their home as Kabul, which seems suspect. In addition to music, they also create incredible tripped our psychedelic videos, that perfectly capture the same twisted vibe as their music. And they somehow manage to release a continuous stream of sights and sounds, new ones seemingly every day, which is why it’s even more remarkable that this is one of only a tiny handful of actual MSV releases.
Regardless, it’s a doozy, if you dug the Salem, and the oOoOO and the Balam Acab and maybe that Big Pink Tapes comp, then you are definitely gonna want this. And if you’ve yet to take the witch house plunge, but dig stuff like Leyland Kirby and Demdike Stare, odds are this is gonna be right up your alley.
A two parter titled provocatively “Exorcism Of The Hippies”, it’s all fat fuzzed out woozy warbly bass, thick low end swells, strange stuttery handclap rhythms, swooping spaced out effects, creepy dubbed out slo-mo atmospherics, strange voices, vocal snippets and samples, all blurred and smeared, a hazy, gauzy lysergic psychedelic trip out, the soundtrack to some strange foreign horror film from the seventies, coupled to some primitive old school techno 12″, both spinning at 16rpm, the whole thing doused in cough syrup and left in the sun, cursed by a witch, buried in a graveyard, only to be dug up, melted down and mixed with liquid thorazine and a handful of horse tranquilizers and then pressed into this here 7″. SO GOOD! Packaged in super swank full color covers, and LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!” – Aquarius Records

Review from BOOMKAT, 03/23/11

“Limited edition (300 copies) vinyl debut from A/V W*itch House force, Mater Susiria Vision. If you’ve had a beady eye on this scene you’ll no doubt be familiar with MSV’s occultish oeuvre. Their work always has a strong visual corollary, usually appearing on multimedia DVDs or CDs up until now, and slots in neatly with Pendu Sound’s tainted roster of Atelecine and Chelsea Wolfe, among others. However, it’s hard to escape the fact that ‘Exorcism Of The Hippies’ sounds like an emaciated Salem. That’s not necessarily a terrible thing, and their exaggeratedly lo-fi methods gives the record a shadowy soul of its own, but you do end up kinda craving some more 808 fills and proper hooks. It looks great though, and for the collectors this is choice little oddity. Limited copies – don’t sleep!” – BOOMKAT

Review from ROUGH TRADE, 03/15/11

“limited to 300. following their jaw-dropping run of dvds and cds (each song is accompanied by a visual element) ‘exorcism of the hippies’ marks mater suspiria vision’s 7″ debut. for the wide-eyed uninitiated who’ve yet to be embraced by the psychotic darkness, ‘exorcism…’ is, like the rest of msv’s output, a terrifying / terrific slab of ghost-droned out evil: all clattering percussion slowed down from a tribal invocation, evil mutterings culled from ghostological recordings, burbling synths like a river of oil… a short stab of pure menace and one of the most exciting sounds around at the moment.” – Rough Trade

Review from ENGINEER’S DAUGHTER, 03/14/11

“Currently native to: Somewhere in Germany, I’m guessing. I would even be so bold as to wager Berlin.
Last Bay Area appearance: None
Next gig: Old Blue Last in London, UK, on Tuesday, May 17, 2011
RIYL: White Ring, Modern Witch, Gr†LLGR†LL
Notes: Mater Suspiria Vision first appeared in 2010, an appropriately mysterious purveyor of that spookiest of genres, witch house (or ghost drone, or haunted disco trance, or whatever you want to call it). Actually all of those descriptives give you a good idea of what to expect from MSV’s music, a woozy concoction of gothy techno and half-coherent vocal samples with some dub and distortion thrown in for good measure. It’s pretty damn addictive.” – Engineer’s Daughter
