Crimson Madrigal was recorded during the Marshal era of Hail, around the turn of the century. The membership included Set Sothis Nox Law (L’Acephale), Markus Wolff (Waldteufel) and Carl Annala (Blasphematherion w/ Joe Preston)
“We rehearsed underground in a hole foul with the smell of mold and death. This is where we shaped our anguish into song. Avast! I see a demon ship – the Crimson Madrigal is closing in our ranks!
We were lost, adrift in the spiritual wasteland in-between Satanism (Christianity) and Paganism. Essentially we believed that we as artists stand above it all – especially that silly war in heaven conflict. The Hagalaz rune – HAIL – seemed to be the perfect symbol for our feelings towards most of humanity and reluctantly, it is destructive to nature as well. As artists we functioned as black shaman in our society. Our lighthouse was the black hole.
And then we devolved…,” Carl Annala
