We are beyond excited that Stygian Bough Volume II is now available everywhere.  Over the album different perspectives of how various forms of worship, awe, and transcendent experiences empower, eclipse, destroy and feed on each other are explored. Four songs steeped in mysticism, legend, and the examination of the connective threads that shape and influence the culture, mythology, and customs of all human societies throughout time in unique, localized ways as referenced in the Golden Bough. This is as close to traditional songwriting as any of us have done and together we were able to give special attention to a lot of polyphonic passages, a rarity for both Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin in our individual works due to the limitations of instrumentation a two piece and solo act have. Stream, download, and purchase Stygian Bough Volume II at your preferred destination. 📷 - @emmaruthrundle

Stygian Bough Stygian Bough will be headlining Friday, June 19th! In our human minds, according to the Law of Contagious Magic as described in The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them. A gift from a dead friend forever holds this magic like a scar reflecting a wound. Similarly, a piece of food that touches the floor is suddenly abject and rotten. Pairing this notion with the Law of Similarity Magic, as described by Frazer, where an object resembling another can share its power, a musical notion can be understood to serve as an unbodied conduit of such magics; an emotional contact between the music and audience wherein such sorcery threads an inseparable seam that, for a time, resemble each other. Aptly named in reference to the aforementioned book, Stygian Bough, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both projects as a conduit in its own separate entity. The partnership at the center of Stygian Bough is over in a decade in the making, growing from Moggridge’s recurring contributions to the Bell Witch catalog. Their initial collusion occurring on the debut Bell Witch album Longing (2012) following which, Moggridge would return to guest on both Four Phantoms (2015) and Mirror Reaper (2017).
