Art Abscon is a mysterious individual lurking in the twilight of
his mask.
Not much is known of him, except that he sometimes refers to
himself as "Grandmaster Abscon" or even "The Hidden God", who,
it seems, is worshipped by the so-called "Ordre Secret
d'Abscon".
From his poetical work one may derive that he is deeply indebted
to Early German Romanticism and the Symbolist Movement, but his
music - which is an inspiring and innovative melange of
noir-cabaret, darkfolk and classic industrial - catapults the
splendour of his poetry into realms unknown.
There is undeniably a certain sensuousness in his voice that
some might even describe as sex appeal, but he can turn into a
hissing demon from one moment to the next.
"The world is my dream at daybreak. Guarded by angels, conceived
by devils" is the magical formula opening ART ABSCONs' concept
album "Der verborgene Gott" which celebrates the myth of Deus
Absconditus, the Hidden God.
What will happen when he wakes up from his blissful dreams and
omen-filled nightmares? The album leads us through delirious
dreamscapes ranging from catchy pop tunes to ethereal
soundscapes, from medieval ditties to industrial sound collages,
from childish melodies to psychedelic walls of sound, always
crowned by Abscon's haunting, poetical voice.
The whole is spiced up with noteworthy vocal and instrumental
contributions from distinguished collaborators such as members
of Luftwaffe, Sinweldi and Gnomonclast.
