about

Walterpurgisnacht II is the second compilation release celebrating “Walterpurgisnacht,” my personal take on Walpurgisnacht--German for (Saint) Walpurgis night--a holiday and festival held on April 30th and celebrated by christians, pagans, and satanists alike.

Walpurgisnacht is also recognized by the Church of Satan as the most important Satanic holiday next to one's birthday, a celebration I have chosen to honor as I honor, um, myself with some sort of music creation or retrospective.

The second in what I hope to be a long-standing annual tradition, 2023’s Walterpurgisnacht offering is a rich collection of alternate, unreleased, collaborative, early, and/or compilation tracks recorded and/or arranged 2021-23, with a few from 1996.

This release was originally private and made available as "yum" codes to a select number of folks who make a purchase between April - June 2023 on one of these Bandcamp pages:
waltercampbell.bandcamp.com
dickiesnakedick.bandcamp.com
bookonvhs.bandcamp.com

I strongly encourage you to check out the compilations several of these songs are originally from.

Negative Frequencies

A+ reissue of this 2006 gem from one of the best labels on Bandcamp. Cold, dronesome void and anguished frequencies accompanied by an alluring, ominous warmth that draws you in like a siren’s song. Walter Campbell

Nigths and Profecy: Expanded and Remastered
by 400 Lonely Things

My favorite release from 2022, a triumph in VHS plunderphonics and creepy ambience. 400LT are masters at de/reconstructing cinematic horror into hauntolgy. Walter Campbell

Psalms Of Damnation And Hate
by DODSSANG TEMPEL

Inimitable, dynamic, and sacrilegious, with a bit of humor added to the cacophony. Check out DT's split with Son of Seth, also on Dunkelheit Produktionen. Walter Campbell
