Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the haunting spoken intro of track 3 into a ten-minute odyssey of blast beats and synth-driven melody.

The piercing, glass-shattering high scream that punctuates the opening of the first track, signaling a shift in intensity.

The way the female vocal counterpoints provide a ghostly, melodic reprieve during the chaotic middle section of track 6.
