Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating firmly within the grandiose, highly theatrical framework that made them infamous, the British veterans deliver a sprawling concept album centered on existential dread and apocalyptic fate. 'Existence Is Futile' features incredibly intricate symphonic orchestrations layered over furious blackened thrash riffs, anchored by Dani Filth's unmistakable shrieks. The record is heralded as one of the most cohesive and energetic releases of their modern era.
