			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proscriptor McGovern, a well known extreme metal drummer founded a one man band in 1995, called Proscriptor.  His first project album, called &#8216;The Venus Bellona&#8217;, was released in 1995.</p>
<p>The album contains twenty two tracks, and is a combination of new wave and experimental music.  Apart from keyboards, Proscriptor also used a mixture of folk instruments in this recording.  As a matter of fact, the album got hints of free-form folk music as well.  The music is accompanied from his witch like voice, which has a range of 4.5 octaves.  The blending of his witch like voice with the advanced rhythmically and undisciplined music writing, make the album sound like it has originated from something supernatural, and sometimes it can be quite disturbing.</p>
<p>According to Proscriptor <a href="http://www.proscriptor.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, &#8220;His lyrics are often so serious that they become humorous in a way; rambling discourses on the relationship between ancestry and immortality in medieval Scotland. The whole album has a wonderful, weird-like feeling about it, especially since it features a whispered rendition of A Flock of Seagull’s &#8220;I Ran (So Far Away).&#8221;"</p>
<p>I would definitely suggest buying this album if you like to listen to something different, unique and weird at the same time, though you need to be in the right mood to listen to it, since it is not an easy album album to listen to. You can listen to some samples of his music from <a href="http://ra.lunarservers.com/~agura3/proscriptor.com/musick.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
