Album Notes & Community Reviews

Subverting religious iconography and the famed rock opera of a similar name, the Slovenian collective delivers a deeply apocalyptic conceptual work. The ensemble expands their martial industrial foundations with heavy guitars and sweeping choirs to critique mass culture and organized religion.
