RED CAIN Provide The Revelation With ‘Kindred: Act I’
With their first full-length album Kindred: Act I, Red Cain dive
into a conceptual journey through the primordial depth of the human
psyche, surfacing to tell mythological tales of war, love, and
transformation. Slavic, Celtic, and Egyptian myths all find a place
within the tracks, in a venomous new form – battle hymns, sorrow songs
and eldritch chants. These are tracks that the band put their blood and
spirit into, and while listener-friendly, also contain a huge variety of
layering and elements that require a number of listens to truly
explore.
Each song tells a story, and the concept behind the album can be found within the words. Red Cain bring
forward elements of the Slavic storytelling tradition here, with Veles,
god of war and earth, our patron deity and storytelling patron. The
reconciliation of the ancient and the modern, the clash between the two,
and the vivid and powerful tales it produces with bonds strengthened in
singing age-old songs together.
Musically, Kindred: Act I is a further continuation of the groups debut self-titled EP, and fans will see that while it is still clearly a Red Cain album,
there has been a significant progression in both style, songwriting and
production. They have kept their raw sound but in a more modern package
and the tracks themselves are very different, yet connected to one
another through a variety of musical, lyrical and storytelling threads.
For the band; “Kindred: Act I is an ancient Sumerian incantation etched into the fiberglass wall of a derelict star-ship. Who can say what’s inside?”
