Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as a one-off collaboration between members of Anekdoten and Landberk, this project focuses heavily on reinterpreting themes from obscure Italian cannibal and horror films. The resulting album is a phenomenally dark, Mellotron-drenched instrumental journey that pays sinister homage to both 70s progressive rock and vintage cinematic terror.
