Album Notes & Community Reviews

Boyd Rice briefly moves away from outright confrontational noise tactics to explore deeply hypnotic, ambient soundscapes. Built largely upon continuous tape loops and ominous, droning frequencies, the album functions as a meditative yet inherently sinister ritualistic exercise.

Genres

Descriptors: repetitive, atmospheric, noisy, occult, instrumental, ritualistic
