Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven entirely by multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby, this wildly ambitious debut merges aggressive industrial programming with sweeping, highly cinematic world music samples. The prominent inclusion of 14th-century choral chants and Bulgarian folk choirs gives the heavy alternative rock foundation an incredibly dark, deeply spiritual gothic grandiosity.
