Inferno would piss off the dadsynth lot cause of the vocal samples stopping it from sounding exactly like an advert for pudding that they had a nightmare about in the 70s

If it’s any consolation to your dream version of yourself, they’ll be able to double their money selling it on to some other BoC dweeb.

i watched a reaction where a guy said as soon as Introit started ā€œoh this would sound great on stranger thingsā€

Stranger Things would have been great with them at the helm

Instead of being boring Harry Potter ass shit in the last season, they’d have all done Dianetics and died

Are you calling him a liiiiaarrr

More than any physical being.

It’s hard to spot but this number is actually 666 upside down - classic BoC move to hide this demonic inference in plain sight.

Soon a vigorous-ly beat-ing heart is pump-ing blood, throughout the com-plex em-bryo

My absolute favourite moment of the album is two notes in the second track that kinda pop like lightbulbs. It’s such a nice sound to me.

I think atm mine is just:

especially since knowing the source. Love how it sounds, and just totally heartbreaking.

Favourite bit at the moment is the second half of The Process, once all the chaos fades out and the delayed electric piano melts in. Just utter bliss.

Wonderful track but I actually find it quite a tough listen. The first half sounds to me like a tannoy broadcasting AI gibberish over the sounds of desperate chaos. I’ve been having some harrowing dreams on a similar theme recently so… yeah. This one, and Memory Death, beautiful tracks but affecting in a way I’ve not had from their music before tbh, even with TH.

They remind me of the audio recordings of the Jonestown massacre/mass suicide

I’m enormously behind on this thread but surprised to see people slagging off Naraka. That and Age of Capricorn are the two enormous standouts for me. I think I’m a sucker for chanting vocals.

Age Of Capricorn and the vocal samples really reminds me of the Jim Carrey/Oneohtrix spoken word interludey bits on the The Weeknd’s Dawn FM
