Seven songs, each in a distinct genre, yet all united by a common theme: the occult. On here there is a dark ambient piece, a 13-minute tribal drum solo, an a capella vocal number, an extremely chaotic metal song with Mike Patton on vocals, and more. While it initially left me cold (the second track, the 13-minuter, felt especially long), the record grew on me as it played out, and by the end I was convinced: this is one of Zorn's most interesting releases.
