DIGIPACK EDITION

Two years ago, before the Apocalypse, the first album of this same project was presented as Olie Steidle & The Killing Popes. Something changed in the works of the pandemic virus: the personnel is partly the same, with Dan Nicholls, Frank Mobus and Phil Donkin repeating tasks, but only the first is part of this second version of The Killing Popes, along the soul and rhythm keeper of the band, Olie Steidle.

Yes, now they’re a duo. Kit Downes is out and in, as guests just like Mobus and Donkin, are singers Jelena Kuljic´ and Nathalie Sandtorv, and also saxophonist Phillip Gropper. The musical concept has the same coordinates, but pushed even... more.

  • Oli Steidle - drums, percussion, marimba
  • Dan Nicholls - keyboards, bass, sampling
