BEELZEBUFO by Spherehawk

Beelzebufo ampinga (/biːˌɛlzɪˈbjuːfoʊ æmˈpɪŋɡə/ or /ˌbiːlzəˈbjuːfoʊ/)
"devil frog, devil toad, frog from hell"
Species of large prehistoric frog. Fossils of Beelzebufo have been recovered from strata of the Maevarano Formation in Madagascar, dating to the late Cretaceous period, some 70 million years ago.
This album was inspired by the voices of forest spirits, in each croak and rub of wings is conjured a timeless, ageless connection with our deepest primal fears and the ancestral memory of the predators of forgotten times, before conscious memories are passed on, back in a simpler world of instinct and cruel survival.
I got fascinated within this concept and pursued it over a short period, intending to create something which could be an ambient instrumental recreation of the violence, the viciousness and ever-changing raw power of nature and its beasts.
This venture dedicated to the makers of the lovely sonic quilt sounding from many a summer evening pond - Amphibians!
