"This is the tale of Jack Corbin. Few called him a master, too many called him a thief and yet he was undoubtedly the best grave robber in the country...."

The release of the next installment of the “The Victim’s Ball” project, "Memoirs of a Resurrectionist" continues a fascinating exploration of the darker side of history. Following from the last album “Romanzo Gotico” which led listeners through a journey in “Dark Romanticism”, this album is firmly set on a similar route.  This time the listener is faced with a Gothic play/album set during the early Victorian age, introducing the hero of our story – Jack Corben, a romantic grave robber eloquently sketched through a sequence of songs and spoken word which slowly unravels his tragic tale.

Growing up as an orphan in the Dickensian streets of London, Jack ventures into the turbid and lucrative world of body snatching at the tender age of seventeen. He soon discovers his gift of a cunning and meticulous mind which leads Jack quickly to the top of the food chain; stealing bodies in copious quantities, then trading them to medical students and hospitals.

However, as fate dictates, our hero risks everything for the love of a woman. As Jack plots one last job in his barely legal trade to seal his future with his loved one, the hand of fate still holds a few surprises.

"Memoirs of a Resurrectionist" has been skillfully constructed as a theme album with spoken word introduction, interval and epilogue thanks to the superb collaboration between the singing by Roberto Massaglia, Joanne Missen and The Baroness and the narrative by Tim Harris.

With a strong theme binding the tracks and a balanced approach to early music instrumentation such as Hurdy Gurdy, Mandolin and Hammered Dulcimer, "Memoirs of a Resurrectionist" is an interesting diversion for those beginning to tire of the plethora of dark electronic acts. This album will appeal to anyone with an interest in gothic storytelling and neo-classical sound.

"Memoirs of a Resurrectionist" is released on 31 October 2011.
