Album Notes & Community Reviews

'There Be Squabbles Ahead' serves as a bizarrely energetic collision of heavy alternative metal, accordion-driven circus music, and dark cabaret theatrics. Dominique Lenore Persi's manic vocal delivery perfectly complements the band's eccentric, Tim Burton-esque gothic aesthetic. The debut quickly earned them a devoted following in the avant-metal scene.
