(C)(P) MMXIX Glass Throat Recordings. (GTR-027) The 9th release and 6th full length studio collection from Blood of the Black Owl. This album has never been released on any tangible artifact such as vinyl LP, compact disc or cassette. All authentic Instrumentation and voices composed, performed, recorded and produced by sole member Chet W. Scott throughout MMXVIII. Recorded on an actual sound console without the use of software simulation and trickery at Glass Throat Recordings on the unceded ancestral lands of the first people of the Dkhw Duw’Absh, (Duwamish Tribe), past and present. I raise up with honor and gratitude the Coast Salish land itself and the Dkhw Duw’Absh. ***TESTIMONIALS*** “Blood of the Black Owl’s new album entitled “Rivers Within Shadows“ was recently released digitally via Glass Throat Recordings, a label curated by BotBO’s Chet W. Scott. This album was gifted to me by Chet a few months ago during a time of raw personal transformation. The gesture was profound for me in my time of change, something I feel the need to elaborate on to truly honor this masterpiece. Chet releases music under the description “Medicinal Musicals”, and through his many musical projects he shares his visions through ritualistic song writing, praises of the earthen and an ancient fire that will rekindle our spirits with the primordial. For the past several years I’ve taken these “Medicinal Musicals” as guides through the depths of personal transformation and I’d be lying if I said Blood of the Black Owl didn’t absolutely change the way I experience life. Rivers Within Shadows offered me the opportunity to go inward, to expand my mind and heart into the unknown with strength and certainty. With each listen, I was accompanied by somatic sensations of what I imagine a feather falling through the sky might resemble. It offered me insight and the opportunity to heal... This record will transport you to places long forgotten, places of growth and love. Chet has once again woven the blessings of Earth into songs that will guide you through the Wilderness.“ -James Martinez (Orb Weaver Collective) ************************ “A note of thanks, I'm currently sitting here, watching the wind rustle through the great Oaks outside my home, whilst listening to Cedar Spirits after BotBO's “A Feral Spirit“. After over a decade of listening to your music, personal, groups you've supported and been involved with, each record still deeply resonates within me. Actually, more so as I get older. It may sound strange, but your music truly has been medicinal for me in the past, whilst also helping guide me into a lifestyle where I'm closer and deeply connected to nature, home and the Higher Ones. Especially each Blood of the Black Owl record holds a specific era connected to it somewhere in my lifetime. “WARmth“ has become the most crucial record for me ever, and may sound strange but I only listen to it when I truly need it. It is that potent! I hope this message is OK, and not too intense/strange to send to you. I just wanted to thank you for all the work, time, magic and love your records have created.“ -Elurka ************************ “This man is a shamanic genius who never disappoints. These songs are the essence of pure, untouched , primal human emotion, the subtle sounds of a snake moving from beneath dead leaves, thunder roaring over songs are of the Mother and Chet's immaculate support this man and his music and rejoice in a world only a few have fellowship in.“ -Havoc Vulture ************************ “RIVERS WITHIN SHADOWS“ is another level. Authentic, humble and it moved my heart. Right path. A sound that already makes me look at myself! The sound of love for something greater. Will be spending a lot of time with this. Thank you. -Dean Berry ************************ “Gentle and uplifting paeons to the natural world that are an antidote to the seemingly endless river of poisonous shit we're fed every day via TV and other media.“ -Sonny92 ************************
