Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as the first half of a sprawling conceptual diptych, this incredibly dense release leans into the collective's darkest, most gothic inclinations. Relying heavily on intricate acoustic instrumentation, eerie synthesizer drones, and Edward Ka-Spel's menacingly theatrical vocals, the album crafts a surreal, chillingly atmospheric psychedelic nightmare.
