Shrine for the Black Madonna

Inferno-Paradise

“Drawing from influences as diverse as Hitchcock, Lovecraft, and Himes, Shrine for the Black Madonna is a shot across the bow; the Next Sound of Rock...” – Vernon Reid, founder/guitarist, Living Colour ................................................................................................................................................................................... SHRINE FOR THE BLACK MADONNA combines the dense pop-pathos of early Motown with the keening fury of the Sex Pistols; the molten funk of electric-era Miles Davis with the psychedelic crunch of Led Zeppelin. On its two sprawling debut CDs, Paradise and Inferno, the band delivers postmodern folktales of blind faith, ruined love, sexual longing, and social rebellion in the age of Katrina and Iraq.
