Die for your faith, fiend for your family.
The congregation has rotted under their shell.
The steeple held prayer hostage and they carried on in such a noble fashion.
Ministry or misery and pews were caskets.
Hallelujah stained the tips of tongues and those broken throats learned new hymnals.
Open your window to wars.

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
