Album Notes & Community Reviews
Commissioned as a soundtrack for the avant-garde theatrical production 'The Second Coming', the influential British collective constructs an oppressive, metallic soundscape. The project heavily relies on their signature percussive sheet-metal clatter, interspersed with chilling dark ambient textures and ominous spoken-word samples.
