Listening to this album is a little bit like standing on the edge of a cliff during a howling storm. Initially a bit disconcerting, but you quickly come to enjoy the raw power and the random gusts that push and pull you in all directions, followed by brief moments of quiet.
There’s a lot going on here with fascinating flourishes and a vocal range that ranges from a trilling falsetto to something like sounds like a demon gargling broken glass. The music is mostly towards the heavy end of the spectrum but with immensely pleasing digressions into jazz and elements of classical.
Lyrically there are attacks on the church and the Armenian genocide, reflecting the cultural heritage of the band. There are some nicely surreal moments too (“Shake your spear at Shakespeare!”) but one line sums it up nicely
Loud-and-noisy-tastic!
