John Beckmann: all music
Recorded at Lux Astralis, New York

POSSE*

"Anyone having trouble getting to, or staying, asleep should proceed with caution when playing The Mortal Prophets’ debut album around bedtime. The demonic intentions implied by the album’s name and defined by John Beckmann, along with Irish producer multi-instrumentalist William Declan Lucey’s, unorthodox approach, coils each selection in menacing directions, bringing fresh, often frightening twists to these standards. Be aware - when you engulf yourself in these riveting, uncompromising performances. They are not for the squeamish.”
- American Songwriter

John Beckmann and his evolving band of genre-bending roustabouts dig deep into America’s primal scream. Beckmann channels an apocalyptic vision from pre-war blues legends such as Lead Belly, Blind Willie Johnson, Charley Patton, and Robert Johnson, which are transmuted via the experimental ethos of German Electronica, groups such as Neu!, Can, Cluster, Harmonia, Eno, Bowie, and Suicide.
