Hypatia by insectarium

THIS ALBUM WAS ALSO RELEASED ON SLITHERING BLACK RECORDS.
Hypatia was a renowned philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the late 4th century AD. Hypatia was a prominent figure known for her intellect and teachings. However, she became a target of religious and political tensions that plagued the city at the time.
A mob of Christian zealots attacked Hypatia while she was traveling in her chariot. They dragged her from the vehicle and took her to a church, where they brutally murdered her. Some accounts report she was ripped limb from limb.
Hypatia's murder remains a symbol of the dangers of extremism and intolerance, and her tragic death has reverberated throughout history as a testament to the fragility of intellectual freedom in times of social and political upheaval. Her murder is often referred to as the first “witch-hunt.”
I often wonder how different the world would be without intolerant religious beliefs.
Thank you Slithering Black Records and the various SBR artists for your support!
Thank you Donna for understanding my obsession with making noise.
Recorded in 2023/2024 by Joel Hinkle in Springfield IL.
