Crooked Crosses for the Nodding God cover art

David Tibet's esoteric collective continues its transition away from pure industrial tape music and heavily into apocalyptic folk on this eerie release. 'Crooked Crosses for the Nodding God' relies on acoustic instrumentation, haunting choral samples, and Tibet’s surreal, nursery rhyme-like vocal delivery to create an atmosphere of dread and religious mysticism. It is a profoundly unsettling and deeply influential piece of early neofolk.
