So don't forget . . .

Kevin offers up some great insight while Richard keeps things on track with the talking about the changes from the theatrical cut.

A rather massive book update is coming very soon. Watch this space on March 1st.

The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats. Sounding more inspired by Slowdive, the band has discovered a new sonic palette that I hope they explore more of in the future. It’s a welcome revelation. I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
