Malleus Maleficarum

Classic… Dutch death/thrash album finally re-issued! One of the most violent thrash metal albums ever! Raging riffs, outraging drums, screaming solos and totally pissed vocals. Total aggression! Death metal wouldn’t sound like it does without that album.

Shows the Malleus, a very well known and widely quoted medieval text, to be highly idiosyncratic, and unusual in its ideas, even among the texts of other contemporary witch-theorists.

For nearly three centuries Malleus Maleficarum (The Witches' Hammer) was the professional manual for witch hunters. This work by two of the most famous Inquisitors of the age is still a document of the forces of that era's beliefs. Under a Bull of Pope Innocent VIII, Kramer and Sprenger exposed the heresy of those who did not believe in witches and set forth the proper order of the world with devils, witches, and the will of God. Even if you do not believe in witchcraft, the world of 1484 did.

Le compositeur Hans Zimmer est né le 12 septembre 1957 à Francfort, en Allemagne. Il s'installe à Londres à l’adolescence, où il travaille avec des groupes pop comme Buggles, Ultravox et Krisma. Son partenariat avec le compositeur de musique de films Stanley Myers l'aide à faire avancer la fusion entre l'esthétique orchestrale traditionnelle de la musique de films et la pointe de l’électronique. L'influence de Myers est grande sur les multiples bandes originales que Zimmer a composées seul. Ce dernier a depuis lors reçu de nombreux prix pour son travail sur des films comme Le Dernier Empereur, Le Roi lion, Rain Man, Pour le pire et pour le meilleur, #La Ligne rouge et Gladiator.

Hans Zimmer One of the most prolific and influential film composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Germany's Hans Zimmer began his music career in London, producing and playing synths for a variety of new wave and punk bands in the early 1980s. After founding a recording studio with film scorer Stanley Myers, their work on films such as 1985's My Beautiful Laundrette fused the traditional orchestral aesthetic of film composition with state-of-the-art electronics and proved influential on countless soundtracks to follow.
