Lasher by Doc Wör Mirran
Both the "Taltos" series of paintings as well as the "Lasher" recordings were inspired by the Anne Rice trilogy of books "The Witching Hour", "Lasher" and "Taltos", commonly known as the “witches trilogy”. A body of work was created that, although independent in itself, was inspired by the books. As with many DWM ideas, this project spans several mediums (several audio tracks, a series of paintings, and a poem), produced over a period of a few years, that should be regarded as a whole in itself.
Musically, these tracks remain some of the most romantic and dark that DWM has ever produced, almost as if "romantic industrial" was a genre in itself. This CD remains one of the highlights in DWM's long discography.
DWM sent a copy of the CD to Anne Rice, but her lawyer sent it back unopened, with an official statement that it was not listened to! It seems they think someone would use the opportunity to sue them if they ever made a film of the books, and the music would be too similar.
