Beastianity LP “Root” Available now for Preorder

10 Years ago, Ian Read’s (Fire + Ice) Fremdheit label released two Neofolk/Experimental compilations under the name “The Pact”.  The second of these compilations contained an unforgettable track from an Australian outfit called Beastianity.   Curious about the band and eager to hear more, we tried to dig up as much information as possible – but very little (if any) information was readily available.   We were able to find the band shortly after the creation of Dais in 2007, and are proud to announce, along with Praise Dog Publishing, the first ever vinyl release of Beastianity’s first and only album “Root“, originally released in 1999 on CD and in Australia only.

This record is hands down one of the rawest and most unrelenting albums in the neofolk genre.  A purely pagan classic. Renown for their wild (and often violent) performances, Beastianity somehow managed to capture that energy in 12 tracks of Dog-Blessed glory.  The first 100 webshop orders will receive a bonus Dais CD featuring “The Hatred That Pleasure Brings”, the song originally featured on The Pact “…of the Gods” compilation.
