The Utah-based ensemble delivers an incredibly dense, sorrowful doom metal record heavily conceptualized around Yevgeny Zamyatin's dystopian sci-fi novel 'We'. The instrumentation is famously anchored by dual electric violins, providing a sweeping, funereal elegance that perfectly counterbalances the massive, sludgy guitar riffs. Tragically, it served as the band's final studio album before their subsequent disbandment.
