Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting a controversial performance at a Swedish festival, this set heavily relies on oppressive martial rhythms, bombastic neoclassical sampling, and spoken word incantations. Michael Moynihan leads the militant presentation through themes of paganism and European historical fatalism. The recording is highly regarded as a cornerstone within the darker extremes of the neofolk and martial industrial scenes.
