Roland, Paul -& Ralf Jesek-
Hexen
English cult psych-baroque singer-songwriter Paul Roland has always had a fascination with magic and the supernatural, but with his album HEXEN has his obsession manifested in music designed to raise the very devil himself. Ever since his first album 'The Werewolf of London' was released in 1980 Roland has drawn inspiration from horror movies, fiction and comics, resulting in songs such as 'Blades Of Battenburg', 'Lon Chaney', 'Edgar Allen Poe' and 'Re-Animator'. Whether it was with a full gothic rock band, solo acoustic guitar, or classical string and woodwind ensembles, Roland created miniature movies for the listener to visualise in their own personal cinema of the mind, but here he has created an actual full-length movie soundtrack for the classic silent horror film 'Haxan' (1922) and produced an album that evokes disturbing and haunting images so you will never rest easy in your beds again.
