“Sabrina – Goddess of the Severn” is the third and final part of the Inkubus Sukkubus musicalTriptych “Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder” which has seen the release of “Barrow Wake” and “Belas Knap” albums interwoven within the regular Inkubus Sukkubus release Schedule. As with the previous two titles of the series, it will be limited to 1,000 copies with only 200 available for distribution worldwide.
A series of “Horror Folk” albums, the Witchcraft & Wonder series have seen the Inkubus Sukkubus explore the acoustic/folk side of their musical universe. The tracks have dealt with rich and at times dark history and folklore of rural Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. “Sabrina…” explores the flip side of the rural idyll, and finds a dark dystopia amongst the rambling fields, hedges and golden Cotswold stone. Central to the album is “Sabrina” the Roman Goddess of the River Severn, a goddess of darkness and light, mercy and cruelty. As with Lilith and Bast, Sabrina has been a major influence upon Inkubus Sukkubus since before their formation in 1989. Now on the eve of their third decade the band are still increasing in momentum, as the wheel of fate, ever moving forward.
Released Late October 2018 by Resurrection.
