Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released exclusively for Record Store Day, this LP compiles various b-sides and previously scattered tribute tracks recorded throughout the alternative metal band's career. The incredibly eclectic tracklist reveals their deep debt to 1980s new wave and gothic rock, featuring remarkably faithful, atmospheric covers of The Cure, Sade, The Smiths, and Duran Duran. It provides fascinating insight into the surprisingly melodic, romantic roots of their heavy, down-tuned sound.
