Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth studio album by the eccentric Finnish instrumental ensemble continues their totally unique fusion of klezmer, progressive rock, and heavy metal dynamics. Replacing distorted guitars entirely with distorted cellos, trombones, and pump organs, the band creates a remarkably heavy, cinematic sound heavily inspired by traditional Eastern European folk melodies. The concept album tells the bizarre fictional story of an explorer journeying across the world.
