Current 93 - An Introduction to Suffering (1999)

Label: Durtro
Genre: Apocalyptic Neo-Folk
Released: 1999

Current 93 is a British experimental folk band consisting of  David Tibet and a gang of contributors, most notably Steven Stapleton (Nurse with Wound) and Michael Cashmore. This album is a compilation, with the songs being somewhat different out-takes of old songs from previous albums.
I would the describe the music on this bad boy as a folky acoustic spoken-word poetry enhanced feel with an  apocalyptic vibe, and lyrics taken from the spiritual world. It is a great album for those who want to get into Current 93, but also for all those who appreciates something new.
Here is a "new", beautiful, magical piece of art.
