WOLD – Freermasonry

Published October 13, 2011 | By Profound Lore Records

Freermasonry is the harsh and contemplative new CD by WOLD.

Some thoughts on conceptual aspects of Freermasonry from Fortress Crookedjaw:

“Lyrically Freermasonry consist of a series of poems and discourses. Early on in Freermasonry, the Mother allusion from SOL is referenced out of Faust Part Two. It is a very short moment. Faust does an invocation to the Mothers, but the execution is as trickery through occult charlatanism and not truly believed ritual. Goethe found passages about dark goddess figures known as Mothers in the writings of Plutarch. The metaphor is ambiguous, generally associated with creative dark force and will, but reared in a potent lie. I use it in correlation with screech owl and as atheistic reactionary sentiment. It could also signify an unattainable aesthetic ideal. It is not a nurturing maternal reference but, yes, it is a bit of a confusing reference, which is a good thing. Of course there are many other aspects to Freermasonry”.
