Album Notes & Community Reviews
Forged by Tony Wakeford following his departure from Death In June, this album is a foundational pillar in the development of the neofolk genre. 'The Killing Tide' layers bleak acoustic guitars and mournful violin passages over esoteric, apocalyptic poetry, evoking a profound atmosphere of medieval melancholy and European decline.
