Tzolk'ins third album's concept is the aural implementation of
aztec mythology's deities. besides tonatiuh as the title, the
gods chosen by the flint glass / empusae collaboration are:
quetzalcoatl (the god of arts, crafts and knowledge,
mictlantecuhtli (god of the dead and the king of the lowest and
northernmost section of the underworld), tezcatlipoca (a central
deity, associated with a wide range of concepts including the
night sky, hurricanes, obsidian, enmity, discord, governance,
divination, temptation, sorcery, beauty, war and strife),
tlazolteotl (a goddess of filth, sin, vice, and sexual
misdeeds), xipe totec ('our lord the flayed one', a life-death-
rebirth deity), nanahuatzin ('the sun god', represented as a man
emerging from a fire, originally interpreted as an illustration
of cannibalism).
The idea that people were servants of the gods was a theme that
ran through aztec mythology. humans had the responsibility of
keeping the gods fed - otherwise, disaster could strike at any
time. the food of the gods was a precious substance found in
human blood. the need to satisfy the gods, especially the sun
god, gave rise to a related theme: human sacrifice. from the
onset, the listener is immersed into an inner vision of beauty,
atrocity. darkness, emotional soundscapes, ambient spheres and
pounding rhythmic patterns. overall the effect is that of fusing
meditative tribal atmospheres with dark voids. ceremonial deep
tones merge with dark ambient industrial music - which is all
kept together by tribalistic electronic grooves and acoustic
percussion. once again tzolk'in achieves musical, technical and
spiritual success without sacrificing critical artistic
engagement with apocalyptic motifs. tonatiuh is an
idiosyncratic, ritualistic vision of post-industrial divination.
translating the atmosphere of an ancient mythic age for the
listener of today - while perfectly using today's technology.
