"Hanging Tree" is the catchiest song on Parasomnia: Pavor Nocturnus. The track features a hidden lyrical concept meant to be discovered by only the most astute listeners. The idea was to create a surreal, dream-like atmosphere that brings the listener back to ancient times. The music video features the explosive second half of ‘Hanging Tree’. Some of the imagery in the video is taken from ‘La Vie et la Passion de Jesus Christ’, a French silent film from 1903. The film’s colors and religious nature fit the song perfectly. I am featured in the video to portray the lyrical orator while Lavinia enhanced it with her sultry dancing.
“Parasomnia: Pavor Nocturnus” is meant to be experienced as a sequence of strange dreams. It comprises a listening journey of confusing, dark, beautiful, scary, comical, twisted, psychotic, and bizarre dreams. The album takes the listener on a dark and sometimes terrifying journey of strange voices, bizarre sounds, beautiful moments, maddening architecture, and intricate instrumentation. It is highly unique, making use of hypnotising drones, occult rituals, odd lyrics, and hidden meanings. Listeners will hear something new each time they play the album.
