Dorthia Cottrell releases new song ‘Take Up Serpents’

DORTHIA COTTRELL have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Take Up Serpents, is taken from the WINDHAND‘s upcoming new solo album, Death Folk Country, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

The title Take Up Serpents comes from bible verse, Mark 16:18. ‘They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.’ Cottrell explains, “even though I don’t consider myself a religious person, I do believe that there are forces beyond current human understanding. I think we interact with those forces and they have an effect on us. This verse always stood out to me; I think love and faith in the unseen are deeply connected. I always thought this verse perfectly described the kind of omnipotent power that Love is, and how it can inspire such a faith and devotion that can reframe reality.”

Death Folk Country is set for release on April 21st via Relapse Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
