Soundclips from forthcoming Wicked Messenger CD "Vision Rites And Techniques Of Ecstasy" have been added to the player on the Plague website. This epic record (Plague's and WM's most ambitious project sofar) is thematically centered around ancient Mesoamerican cult and culture. All tracks refer to certain spiritual and cultic practices, in particular the vision quest.
"Vision Rites..." is housed in a jewelcase and limited to 300 copies. A bundle-price will be offered to people on the mailing list. Pre-ordering is possible and implies prior handling once P&P starts. No advance payment needed, just send an email to reserve your copy and get it quickly delivered.
Once the album gets back from the pressing plant Plague will send out a newsletter, including specific ordering info.
