Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Of Ruine or Some Blazing Starre' is a highly poetic and intensely philosophical pinnacle of Current 93's neofolk sound. David Tibet delivers passionate and existential meditations on Christian spirituality over melancholic, acoustic-led arrangements that are both introspective and atmospheric.
