The Road, Pt. 1

A cinematic odyssey of heavy beats, gospel-tinged rock, and noir electronics. Dense, driving, and designed for the loneliest hours of a long night drive.

It's like driving through a rain-slicked city at 2 AM with a gospel choir in the backseat.

A relentless, cinematic journey through darkness that eventually finds a glimmer of spiritual light.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive entry of Mark Lanegan's gravelly baritone over the industrial stomp of Looking for the Rain.

The way the gospel choir swells against the driving, hypnotic bassline of Farewell.

The transition from the sparse, questioning Iter interludes into the maximalist wall of sound on the main tracks.
