NOTES

Seattle band Society of the Silver Cross's debut album '1 Verse' is an epic musical journey crossing over to mystical landscapes and otherworldly terrains, while playing with concepts of life and death, shadows and light and going beyond the veil. Songwriters Joe Reineke (The Meices, Alien Crime Syndicate) and life partner Karyn Gold-Reineke score lush, bombastic and ethereal layers of instrumentation with chant-like vocals at times. Their unique songwriting style blends east and west with dark, gothic undertones. The album features non-traditional instruments (harmonium, shahi baaja, dilruba, ghungroos), 12-string guitar, esoteric synthesizers (swarmatron, therevox, mellotron), Hammond B3 organ, heavy rhythmic percussion and gritty soundscapes.

“After traveling to India several years ago and finding a call to the yogic path, our music has been creatively inspired to blend our familiar western rock and gothic roots with the rich textures and sounds of the east. The original Society of the Silver Cross were Dutch medics for the 17th century army, much like the Red Cross. We think of this music as medicine on the battlefield of today’s chaotic world. Our intention is that it be an experience, a musical movement of authenticity that awakens a sense of truth and purpose.”
