More musically adept and more interesting than the previous offering. These guys were definitely on to something…music to drive you to kill yourself apparently since the lead singer did just that 10 years later. It’s hypnotic and tribal and cathartic, which is what I imagine Rozz was going for. I don’t know that I would return to it but I can see people going to see him in concerts, falling in love with him and not being surprised that he wound up hanging himself.
The Weill-ian “Lament” was an unexpected surprise. And “Of the Wound” is highly terrifying at times.
