Arc of the Hunter's new album Massospora cicadina is out now on Monolithos Records. Follow link to listen and purchase:

The three drone pieces that make up "Massospora cicadina" were inspired by and recorded over the course of a few days during the emergence of Brood XIII, the 17-year cicadas in 2024.

Many of Brood XIII were infected with a fungus, Massospora cicadina, which caused them to become zombie like. The fungus is a sexually transmitted disease and caused the cicades to become hypersexual and continue to mate even though they were infected.

The salt shakers of death were gone as fast as they emerged.

​TS :
(Before The Death Of The Host) Buchla 700, tape delay, Moogerfooger pedals, effects units
(Massospora cicadina in C) Moog Mariana bass synth, sampler, Moogerfooger pedals, mulit-effects processor, effects units
(Campfire Ritual Drone) test equipment, drone synth, tape delay, Moogerfooger pedals, effects units

Recorded, mixed in Chicago at The Space Castle, 2024. Mastered and finalized in 2025.

The cover art is a computer manipulated drawing by TS illustrating the Grand Canyon being filled with semen.

TS all things. 

Thank you Mat Weitman for the title "Before The Death Of The Host."

Though these songs are variations on a theme, socially, conceptually, a cyclical experience representing ritual, much like "Received Tradition" and are from the same sessions, they did not fit the album. "Stolen and Sludge Magic Songs" is a collection of those pieces that didn't make the cut, and this collection is representative of a creative building block of sorts. Some elements, tones and concepts were used in other songs. Here it is for developments sake.
