Ashes of The Holy Bible
In 2010 the Detroit hardcore punk band Hellmouth did what some might consider sacrilege and pressed the ashes of a German bible from the 1800s into their record ‘Gravestone Skylines’.
The band members found the leather bound bible with handwritten notes inside, sealed shut with a metal clasp. The burning ceremony placed four candles around the bible to represent the band’s four members. After dousing it with gasoline and setting it aflame, Hellmouth sent the bible’s ashes to Vinnie Fiorello of Paper + Plastik Records to press and release 33 limited edition copies.
