Album Notes & Community Reviews
Evolving away from purely aggressive sheet-metal percussion, the British industrial collective incorporated sweeping orchestral elements, choir vocals, and stark piano. The highly theatrical, martial arrangements maintain their militant political stance while exploring grander, surprisingly melodic neoclassical textures.
