Michael Cashmore’s The Snow Abides reissued on vinyl for the first time as a complete album in December via Svart Records. Michael Cashmore, the main guitarist and composer for Current 93 from 1990 until around 2006, presents his 2007 solo offering The Snow Abides with vocals by Anohni (Antony and the Johnsons), Bill Fay and David Tibet (Current 93). The Snow Abides Completely comprises all of the recordings made between 1999-2001 from the original The Snow Abides sessions. An edited edition of these recordings was issued by Durtro Jnana in 2007. Now finally released with 12 tracks in total of which 5 are previously unreleased featuring vocals by David Tibet and lyrics and music by Michael Cashmore, this is an essential album for any Current 93 fan to have. “When I wrote these musical pieces and texts I was suffering from a deep depression. I was also extremely shy and had such bad self-confidence that I was simply embarrassed by my texts – so much so that I was unable to release them. It is only now around seven years later of personal transformation through divine love and positivity that I no longer have such problems and I am now finally able to release them here.”
