about

Dub music and Obeah art has constantly clashed with industrial rock and metal. The sounds of Killing Joke, Mark Stewart & The Maffia, Tackhead, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Alien Sex Fiend, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pop Will Eat Itself have been a constant inspiration to Transylvanians.

Nothing is more transgressive than life in the post-industrial, post-communist Carpathian mountains. From the ancient times of bloodshed, to the Dark Ages of carnage to the communist regime that brought censorship, mind control and famine.

So it was only natural for Lil Obeah to explore this on his third album Everyday Is Halloween, to be launched on Wormhole Records on Halloween 2022 with a dedication to the sound of industrial dub-reggae.

lyrics

Negru Voda si-a lui ceata,
Toti voinici cu fruntea lata,
Si cu ghioage groase, drepte
Si cu plete lungi pe spete,
Suie creasta muntilor,
Muntilor, caruntilor,
Si trecand peste hotare
Voinicilor striga tare:

Alelei, voinicii mei,
Mandri puisori de zmei,
Ia vedeti cele campii
Smaltate cu iasomii,
De dusmani ce sunt cuprinse
Si de flacari ce-s incinse.
Acolo-s ai vostri frati,
Toti voinici ca brazii-nalti.

Ascultati suspinul lor,
Jalea si-a lor aprig dor.
Ghioagele vi le-apucati,
Arcele vi le-ncordati,
Foc in dusmanime dati,
Si din tara-i alungati,
Si din tara-i alungati,
Si pe frati de ei scapati.

Ostasii cum auzeau,
Ghioagele si le-apucau,
In dusmani se napusteau,
Ca pe-o pleava-i vanturau

Pe campii cu iasomie,
Cand sta soarele-n chindie,
Ca frati buni se-mbratisau,
Si tara o stapaneau
