Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Amiens, France, this haunting set captures David Tibet leading his collective through a stark, apocalyptic interpretation of modern folk music. Emphasizing acoustic guitars, atmospheric drones, and heavily esoteric lyricism, the performance drifts through deeply religious and mystical themes. It represents a key transitional moment as the group abandoned industrial noise for pastoral gothic sensibilities.
