post-authentic / pre-apocalyptic / anti-medieval

"The Shape of Medieval Music to Come" is Vox Vulgaris's first album, and the only one so far. It was self-released on CD in 2003, with no distribution except at live performances. All remaining CDs were destroyed a few years later, yet the music survived thanks to file-sharing networks and eventually reached an audience of millions.

The album’s last track is an interpretation of music found in a painting by Hieronymus Bosch; the piece included what some ten years later would become famous as “Butt Music” or “Butt Song from Hell”. In the liner notes, the song was proudly presented thus:*
