Still Practiced Pagan Rituals of Europe

For years, photographer Charles Freger, has been traveling throughout European countries  trying to capture the spirit of what he calls “tribal Europe” in his “Wilder Mann” series.

If you want to help fight against the immigration ban, you can do so by digitally purchasing Assimilation this Friday, February 3. Bandcamp will donate 100% of its profits that day directly to ACLU Nationwide’s efforts to oppose the executive order. Since -ghost island-’s members are Mexican and Iranian, we stand behind diversity. The whole message behind Assimilation is to be unapologetically proud of who you are, and we hope you’ll join us in sharing that message. Thanks for supporting human rights.
