Album Notes & Community Reviews

Michael Moynihan's highly controversial industrial project debuted with a dense, fiercely militaristic fusion of neoclassical orchestration and philosophical spoken word. The recording heavily samples classical pieces from Prokofiev and Bach, layering them with pounding tribal percussion and audio clips of Ezra Pound and Charles Manson. Its deeply unsettling, ideologically provocative aesthetic made it a highly polarizing but incredibly influential milestone in the martial industrial genre.
