Tarantula Hawk - Untitled
(Experimental, Psychedelic, Progressive)
(San Diego, California)
(Life Is Abuse/Neurot)
Imagine Side A of Tarkus by Emerson, Lake and Palmer breeding with some dark, sci-fi fantasy about creatures of the deep on planets unknown and you'll have the ruff sketch of the heaviness of Tarantula Hawk.
Close your eyes and imagine that darkness creeping from underneath moss soaked caverns. What is the origin of this unknown entity? The sense of pending doom as it begins to overtake everything seen as far as the eye can reach and beyond is now reality. It suddenly leaps forward. Like a glitch in the matrix. It's upon you. Startling the last free breath from existence. Now the sludge soaked tentacles wrap tighter and the body becomes one with the earth once more.
Tarantula Hawk has long been one of my favorite, off the grid, masterworks. Mixing ambience with some type of sinister, doomed soundtrack. Yet, these words do not clarify the massive weight, chaos and confusion. It seems as mysteriously as it arrived, it has gone dormant. That mystique is the sound of Tarantula Hawk.
