The Haitian Revolution

Maybe I had too much coffee the morning of recording but I certainly blitzed this one! A breathless retelling of the history of the awe inspiring and deeply fascinating Haitian Revolution, how Toussant L'Overture, who became known as the Black Napoleon rose from humble origins to lead his island nation to independence and throwing off the shackles of slavery, while defeating the French, Spanish and British along the way! The new Primordial album revolves around themes of liberty, revolution and rebellion and certainly this staggering story falls under that storytelling motif! I also skirt past The Serpent and the Rainbow , The French Revolution, Voodoo and Papa Doc via addressing ridiculous rumours and gossip about albums that I wrote.....I'm still here! you can ask me!
