Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Swans vocalist channels terrifying, esoteric energy on this conceptual tribute to the Hindu goddess of destruction and time. Featuring aggressive collaborations with various extreme metal musicians, the record shifts violently between harrowing drone metal and disturbing, ritualistic avant-folk.
