CADAVERIA – listen up – a new single is out – “Divination”
A strong, magical song, inspired by a ritual (typical of the Afro-Brazilian cult Candomble). Stream is possible on Spotify.
After consulting Wikipedia, Candomble is – a Brazilian religion that has deep roots and its cradle in West Africa. Basically, Candomblé is about establishing an exchange between the people who practice it and the gods – Orisha, Nkisi or Vodum called – to produce, depending on which nation the Candomblé comes from. In contrast to the supreme god Olorun, the saints (Orixá, Nkisi or Vodum) are, so to speak, “addressable”. During a candomblé rite, a saint can take possession of a person. This person then moves differently than the other cult participants who dance around the altar, which is located in the center of the Candomblé Temple, which was specially built for this saint. Every saint moves in a very special way: the possessed person dances like the saint when he is possessed. Every saint has a day assigned to him, a zodiac sign assigned to him, food, drink, color, flower, animal and much more.
