A high-stakes collision of orchestral grandeur and raw, alternative metal angst.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of Dave Lombardo's double-kick drumming on Last Hope which transforms the cellos into thrash weapons.
Corey Taylor's transition from a vulnerable whisper to a guttural roar during the climax of I'm Not Jesus.
The haunting, layered cello harmonies that open S.O.S. (Anything but Love) before the beat drops.
