Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a brief detour entirely into Depeche Mode-indebted synthpop, the British gothic metal pioneers slowly began reintroducing heavy, down-tuned guitars. Produced by Rhys Fulber, the album successfully merges their newfound electronic sensibilities with the dark, metallic crunch of their mid-90s output.
