The Court

Their music, like the Court itself, is trapped in the nightmare of the cold war, drowning again and again in a cocktail of decadence and despair.

This is 1939.1, 1914 mark 2. Dust off the air-raid sirens for the descent is inevitable. The bad old days are returning and the Court are the warning that comes too late. The midnight toll of Possession Night approaches. Ghosts of the past and seeds long dormant: let us set a course for the void.

The Heralds

The Heralds speak for the Court of Sybaris. In their current incarnation they are two people from England, and the wheel of names has rested upon Gnaeus and Caligula. All of the instruments you would expect are present, manipulated to produce a musical effect.
