BLACK SUMMER rages on with this exhaustive SPOTLIGHT episode focusing on musician Haela Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix's Transcendental Black Metal band Liturgy, more specifically their fifth full-length album, 2020's epic Origin of the Alimonies. This is a deep dive, everybody. A lot of seemingly disparate topics are covered here, but it all makes some semblance of sense in the end. I think. Maybe this whole episode just sounds like the ramblings of crazy people grasping at straws while trying to connect a whole bunch of dangling threads after listening to some amazing music, but that's for you to figure out. It's BLACK SUMMER, dammit. We're allowed to takes things a bit too far. What kind of show would this be if we didn't?
(one quick note: this episode was recorded several months ago, and in the interim the artist in question has chosen to be identified as Haela Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix. The episode refers to the artist as "Hunter" throughout, and moving forward, whenever the artist or her work is mentioned on the show we will use her chosen name)
