This is the first of your posts that I have opened, and the immediate mention of CALIGULA caught my attention. I am deeply fascinated by Lingua Ignota’s work and have been captivated by Kristin Hayter’s music for the past 3-4 months, often recommending it to others. While CALIGULA aligns more closely with my personal taste, I believe that SINNER GET READY is the stronger album in objective terms. I recall that Hayter once mentioned that her music can be interpreted from the perspective of God, the oppressor, or the oppressed, which I find profoundly haunting. The way her albums take on new dimensions with each listening, depending on the narrative viewpoint, is truly extraordinary. Her dissertation, titled "BURN EVERYTHING TRUST NO ONE KILL YOURSELF" is definitely one of the best display of how power-dynamics work and shift. Her live performances are a totally another topic. My favourites by her would be: Do You Doubt Me Traitor?, O Ruthless Great Divine Director, and Perpetual Flame of Centralia.
Absolutely loving Eades today, cheers for the recommendation!

So much musical food for thought. This’ll be my jukebox soundtrack for the next week at work!
Thanks so much for this post- what beautiful and wide-ranging recommendations!
