Bought this one without listening. Was expecting a cybergrind outfit. Confused. Not disappointed.

Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music.

J'aime aussi la musique quand elle s'abâtardit, qu'elle se fusionne, qu'elle juxtapose. Là, je suis servi

Atmospheric baroque instrumental pop from composer Luke Cissell—complex and carefully constructed but not without a sense of humor or light.

Impatient listeners are weeded out in the opening 5 minutes, while those who persevere are treated to an unforgettable experience. This monster weaves an impossibly dense tapestry of sound with the replay value of a Final Fantasy. Scalding technical metal, rich chamber compositions and some trademark twists provide a great soundtrack to the lyrical concept. This seamless union between words and music creates a vivid and powerful narrative. Amongst the finest works of a one of a kind band.
