Moments Worth Listening For

The terrifying, buzzing double-reed assault that opens Pavor, instantly transporting the listener to a pre-modern battlefield.

The lonely, breathy solo flute on Animula Vagula that sounds like a fragile soul drifting through stone ruins.

The rattling, primal percussion and deep horn blasts of Etruria that evoke ancient, pre-Roman earth rituals.
