Album Notes & Community Reviews
On '93696', songwriter Haela Hunt-Hendrix merges the chaotic intensity of black metal with intricate classical and electronic arrangements, creating a sound that shifts between pulverizing force and delicate beauty. Recorded by Steve Albini, the sprawling compositions are realized through a dynamic band performance that balances raw power with meticulous detail, incorporating a vast sonic palette of strings, choirs, piano, and glockenspiel into its extreme metal foundation.
