My father handed me this album some 20+ years ago, and this is been a regular listen over many, many moons.
The songs make use of hymnals and religious vocal arrangements, but intermixed with other sounds and instruments which ultimately make for an eerie, foreboding and almost doomed listening experience. Interspersed with the songs are occasional spoken words, in one instance recorded from an American crime TV show, followed by a brief interview with the serial killer who committed the aforementioned crime.
To say this music is the stuff of nightmares is a vast understatement. This is spooky, haunted listening and at its very core, this is the stuff which nightmares are made out of. I could easily play this on repeat while hosting a Halloween party and it would make for the perfect setting.
Listening to this does bring back some nostalgia of my younger, slightly spookier and chaotic days. This is probably their best album, and while I have others of their collection, I regularly go back to this over and over again.
