Album Notes & Community Reviews

The politically charged transatlantic quartet deepens their unique synthesis of gospel vocals, industrial noise, and post-punk gloom. Conceptualized around a poem written by frontman Franklin James Fisher, the record confronts global anxieties, impending doom, and institutional collapse through heavily synthesized, atmospheric production. It utilizes more refined, synth-heavy arrangements than their previous, guitar-driven efforts.
