DEATH KARMA - The History of Death & Burial Rituals part I.
Death is as young as humanity itself. It accompanies mankind from the very beginning and it is an integral part of life.
As the cultural differences in society have been evolving throughout the centuries, different ways of burying the deceased as well as their worship and access to the dead were incurring. In particular, the emergence of different religions in the world had a crucial influence on funerary rituals, historical and current, as well as on the perception of death. Many cults of death were born...
I have always been fascinated by this topic and that was the reason behind the conception of this work. The LP "The History of Death & Burial Rituals pt1" is the first part of the musicalization of posthumous rituals and the perception of death in different cultures and countries around the world. This is my tribute to death and its great value and importance to man.
In the first part of this musical book we will deal with rituals in the following countries:
Slovakia - ancient burial customs of superstitious and deeply religious villagers still exist in certain areas till today.
Madagascar - dance with Death, in the name of Famadihana.
Mexico - the most famous dead town which once lived though death. Enter the mouth of the ChichenItza well - where people were buried in blood.
Czech republic- "Umrlčí prkna" provide a place for Death through the long and harsh winters, so the earth could accept the bodies in spring.
India – The Towers of Silence. Here one can feel and hear death the most.
China - Hanging coffins on high rocks so nobody disturbs the peace of the dead.
