| For God's sake, please use Mozilla Firefox to view this profileBlack Henbane is a one-man project, sometimes supported by some friends.
The name refers to a plant (Hyoscyamus niger in Latin) which has been used by medieval witches for many purposes, because of its remarkable properties. It is not only beautiful to look at and very poisonous, but also said to have healing, aphrodising and halluzinogenic effects - all qualities that also make up a good pop song. Black Henbane hopes to live up to at least some of these promises.
His prolific creativity thrives on inspiration from five decades of rock, pop and folk history and from modern and ancient poetry and literature. Visitors to this site have described his sound as unique, magical, dark, mysterious and enigmatic. The imagery of his lyrics has been characterized once as “bleak yet lush”. Connections have been drawn to the work of artists as diverse as The Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Ry Cooder, Syd Barrett, and – no kidding – even Buddy Holly. Black Henbane has a second home at MySpace. "A SUNDIAL IN A GRAVE" is a page with songs by Black Henbane on poems by the great English 17th century poet John Donne. Black Henbane is planning to self-release a CD this year. Picking Apples Please visit A SUNDIAL IN A GRAVE to listen to songs by Black Henbane on poems by John Donne. At Campfire Jukebox's MySpace you can listen to the duet "Little Boy" feat. Black Henbane. Black Henbane's songs "Someplace Cold Enough", "Rock 'n' Roll" and "The Broken Heart" are and have entered into the active Garageband.com contest. "Someplace Cold Enough" has been featured as Track of the Day in the garageband.com Folk Rock contest on 15 December 2007! Black Henbane is also a hobby photographer and will use this site to share some of his pictures. Layout and slide show will change every once in a while, so you have one more reason to drop by frequently. All visitors since October 7, 2007

Henbane Philology |

| In German, the henbane plant is called Bilsenkraut. Since German rock music has been referred to as Kraut Rock since the early 70s, it would be appropriate to call my music Bilsen Kraut Rock. Maybe... Posted by Black Henbane on Fri, 16 Mar 2007 07:02:00 PST |
