Varkenshond

  With hard-to-define instruments, Varkenshond creates ritual and tribal madness in the vein of early Silvester Afang and Zero Kama. Varkenshond was founded in 2006 in Antwerp, Belgium while the to-be members were studying Maggergergorian spiritual philosophy with Wim Vanaeghe, Thomas "Gergeti" Kreuzfeld, and Koera Mönggüm Sorgan. They released a CD in 2007, the result of a series of therapeutic music sessions led by G. Karkaronga, and a cassette in 2013, a selection of songs and meditations recorded with local musicians in Brazil, Belarus, China, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Russia. Hargawaan Por Shail is a collaboration with animal communicator, flute player, and percussionist Yori Yoki. It consists of Támoldut and Maggergorian vocal and instrumental traditional music from Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe. The album includes the first recording ever of the instrument "Life Hooter" and an atmospheric electric version of "Qéfelni". Mastered by Kris Delacourt.
