Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating with key figures of the neofolk and martial industrial scenes (including Douglas P. of Death in June and Michael Moynihan), the controversial provocateur Boyd Rice delivers a deeply cynical album. The record overlays lounge-lizard pop aesthetics and martial percussion with his deadpan, violently misanthropic spoken-word poetry.
