Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the delicate opening of track 1 into a wall of crushing industrial guitars.
The way the title track uses a repetitive, almost hypnotic electronic sequence to build a sense of claustrophobia.
The sudden, dissonant jazz-influenced piano breakdown in 'Wälsungenblut' that disrupts the metal flow.
