Lost Futures: The Spektre of Rosz Al Ghul HAUNTS ON…
The rare, cassette only release of Revelator Rosz’s snuffed debut album, ROSZ AL GHUL, was written and performed throughout 2023-2024 in the Dimming Room of Seattle, WA. This magicakl musical artifact fully intended on becoming the premiere conceptual full-length from Keats Ross’s magickal persona. After decades of releasing highly-conceptual solo music across many genres as DAKOTA SLIM, Revelator Rosz’s debut was always marked with a heavy intention of individual rebirth..
But the album was always a testament to Rosz’s anarchic magickal praxis of Hauntomancy and its respective creative gusts. And as Hauntomancy aspires to commune with forgotten or distgruntled tethers of one’s past, the album began to marry the “self-sample” culture by dissolving, echoing as splinters, and resonating into new formations. This is when Rosz Al Ghul tracks found flourish as individual “song-sigils” and found their own narratives as either singles or E.P.s such as the Many Named song-sigil single, or the song-sigil “Father Karras” inspiring a splinter E.P. entitled “Karras”) But it became all too apparent that the transformation into an apt debut full-length was far from over, And LO! just as the malefic star ALGOL raised it’s decapitated demon head and malformed Uranus last year, it also mutated and completely reimagined what was ROSZ AL GHUL into ROSZ ALGOL.
But what of this hauntomantik lost future, a future where the Revelator Rosz musickal trajectory continued one with song-sigils such the FEEL MY HORRORS & THE DIM HUM mini cinematic affair on the album, largely unheard and left to fade into total obscurity?
Well, six of the premiere psychick haunted rocknroll hauntsigils from the Revelator Rosz discography’s lost beginning are now casted into a 30 minute long magnetik ribbon talisman–handcrafted, individualized and etched into the annals of dead technology. The six songs, 3 song-sigils and their twin song refrains illustrate the further would-be possibilities of the 30+ songs recorded and largely retired. ROSZ AL GHUL can now haunt on, casted onto a HEXKASSETTE release from the WE THE HALLOWED somatick media initiative and compiled to sell at live performance at the Sunset Tavern in Seattle on 3/10/25-thus that “release date”.
What once was only available via subscription to the HEXKASSETTE tier of patreon.com/pragmagick is now available, made to order, for those willing to saunter into a true emblem of Hauntomancy construction. Revel and mourn the recent forgotten, and make way for the new hollers of ROSZ ALGOL…
