This is probably by far the gloomiest plate the entire music history. What Dead Can Dance have created here can not be called other than a drohend- Dark and unmaßlich athmosphärisches work. It is almost inconceivable how Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard build such a captivating tension which has, among other things with "Xavier" and "Cantara" two absolute highlights. If the Apocalypse would use their death riders, that would be the perfect soundtrack. Dreadful, violent, brilliant!
