***On the surface ORION RIGEL DOMMISSE’s song world is marked by death, desolation and personal disaster. That the events populate a fairy-tale-like terrain is no small point. The transmutation of terror and dread into a manageable folkloric currency makes complete sense given the fantastic elements sewn within Orion’s singular visions. As with the best fantasy tales, Orion’s songs thread multiple meanings, some obvious, others occluded, through a linear narrative of disarming depth. All the while the tone is charged, with menace and beauty. This is classical music set to LUCIO FULCI’s The Beyond, folk music from some lost Balkan province where moonlight feeds all need for Vitamin D. Orion’s text is a dark, rich blood that oozes through organs, infusing them with all manner of unearthy metastices; mutations which allow them to evolve through pain, survive the corruptions of this world and deliver upon it an inverse of the negativity it so often yields. Orion feels the world like few others can. Our reward for that is What I Want From You Is Sweet. The debut release on this new label founded by GREG WEEKS (ESPERS).
