Moments Worth Listening For
The authoritative, gravelly narration of Christopher Lee setting the stage for a cosmic birth in the opening track.
The transition from the orchestral swell of the intro into the relentless double-bass gallop of King of Kings.
The raw, behind-the-scenes energy of the choir rehearsal track showing the human effort behind the massive wall of sound.
