The Furious Sound" is the new record by THE DOUGLAS FIRS, loosely based around the East Lothian witch trials of 1590. Seventy persons, mainly women, were tortured, tried and burned for their supposed involvement in witchcraft. The record became an investigation into outsiders, madness, extreme internal states, physical degradation and the brevity of human life. Many parts of the record were improvised, inspired by the locations used. No fortuitous sounds leaking onto the tracks were excluded. "This Great Generation", "Fortress", "Black Forest", "The Possessed", "Backroads" and "Eulogy" were all recorded in South Leith Church, the parish of David Lindsay, who led the witch hunt on behalf of James I & IV. "Devils" was recorded in the church at Old Kirk Green, North Berwick, from where the witches practised their sermons. It was also recorded from within the lower dungeons at Tantallon Castle, East Lothian. Record Label: Armellodie Style: Independent
