Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by Tony Wakeford, the ensemble further refined their gloomy, esoteric interpretation of European folk traditions. 'King & Queen' relies on martial acoustic strumming, stark string arrangements, and bleak lyrical poetry. The release remains a foundational document in the development of apocalyptic and ritualistic folk movements.
