Somewhat akin to a Litanies of Satan pt. 2. Again, there are two tracks, the second of which is an avantgarde a capella extravaganza, and again the vibe is eerie, unsettling, and frightening. However, that's not to say you'd mistake one record for the other: while equally virtuosic, this one is less claustrophobic and (in its second track at least) more mournful. It also addresses different themes: "Panoptikon" is a rumination on isolation, imprisonment, and torture, whereas "Song from the Blood of Those Murdered" is a lamentation for the victims of Greece's junta regime.
