Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding the diptych begun with 'Shadow Weaver', the prolific Anglo-Dutch collective plunges into an exceptionally dark, suffocating iteration of neo-psychedelia. Heavily layered with eerie electronic sequencing and Edward Ka-Spel's menacing, apocalyptic poetry, the record stands as one of the most oppressive and industrial-leaning entries in their vast catalog.
