Cave Mouth "The Dark Has Teeth" CD Digipack

Digipak 3 panels limited 500 copies.

For those of you who don't know, Cave Mouth is a transatlantic band. Meghan is based in Michigan in the US, and I'm currently based in the UK. We made The Dark Has Teeth when I had a few weeks respite amidst the worst depressive episode of my life. (It lasted close to two years.) The album's heart is made up from folklore, witchcraft, superstitions, legends and the old ways of England, Scandinavia and further afield across Europe. Mental illness also gets a look in.
You will encounter, among others, a witch who flies with no broomstick beneath her, a hag from the Dane Hills who flays children alive, and a black dog whose howl spells death.
If you listen to the album, you'll find many of the songs have sparse lyrics. That's because, on those days, a few words was all I could manage to put down. The longer pieces were made on somewhat better days. I'm saying this because I hope to encourage other creative folks with ill mental health not to be afraid to create and share what they make, especially when it feels like things aren't going to get better. That's when it's most important to muster courage and fight back with art.
