“Back to Hermetics and Martial Arts Vol. 1” is an epic adventure through the invisible worlds of Neoplatonic cinema. From mockumentaries about the lost books of occult correspondences, through psychedelic surf noir chambers with ritual suppers, and giallo screams of the world squished by the chthonic grasp, to the original footage of the victorious Belgrade-Dharamsala bicycle marathon of 1931, Morriconesque spaghetti western theophanies, and the saving grace of the Heart pierced by Seven Swords, the album delivers nine movie themes that combine various musical elements into a unique work of cinematic alchemy.” “Back to Hermetics and Martial Arts Vol. 1” is a collection of esoteric essays and short stories from the various corners of The Little Brothers universe. It tells the story about the Faustian thirst for knowledge that was miraculously quenched by the Water of Life – turning former revolutionaries into mystics and bicycle races into pilgrimages.”
