Extra Info

We announce our first show of 2016 with great pleasure, and welcome The Poisoned Glass, a duo featuring 2 members of the legendary Doom band Burning Witch; vocalist Edgy59 and bassist G.Stuart Dahlquist. Album Trailer 'The Final Act of Geng Yaoting' by Artist Richard ForbesHamilton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp6Pk_h4mo4&feature=youtu.be Words from our friends at Ritual Productions on the collaboration... "After the demise of Burning Witch in 1998 and going their separate ways, the two kept in touch, occasionally making overtures towards working together and knowing that they would when it felt natural. The Poisoned Glass started with the song ムSilent Vigilメ, a twelvetone progression Dahlquist had originally intended as a tonal bass solo. After experimenting, he felt that the resulting sound was heavier, more despondent and unforgiving than any of his existing projects and sent the rough mix to Edgy, who understood immediately that this music represented perfectly both voices as a unit. It came naturally, as though it was meant to be, and with that, the duo formed, and set out to record as The Poisoned Glass. The instrumentation is exclusively centred around bass guitar, organ, and voice ヨ nothing more. In spite of seemingly limiting instrumentation The Poisoned Glass is far from minimalist; the atmosphere is bleak but so dense it is virtually without air. Dahlquistメs unison bass and organ is massive, building, evolving and expanding, punctuated by Edgyメs unbridled tenor and the irregular jarring of one or two note dissonant harmonies. Enigmatic and moving, The Poisoned Glass will release their self titled LP on Ritual Productions in spring of 2016" http://www.ritualproductions.net/weareexceptionallythrilledtoannouncethepoisonedglass/ It's an honour for Youメre Not Human to be hosting 1 of only 2 UK dates, and we look forward to pushing the audience far beyond their comfort zone with this very special show.
