Moments Worth Listening For
The nine-minute sprawl of Proverbs of Hell where industrial clatter gives way to a hypnotic, rhythmic recitation of aphorisms.
The sudden transition from abrasive electronic noise to the velvet, melodic croon of Garm in the middle of Plate 3.
The massive twenty-six minute finale where the album's various threads of ambient, metal, and electronic music finally dissolve into a singular, epic statement.
