One of my favourite bands growing up. Their initial sound was a slow, brutal, pummeling dirge, dealing with really bleak subjects. Absolutely the most punishingly loud live act I’ve ever seen, bar none. In time their sound transformed into something still very intense, but much broader in influence and style. The instrumentation expanded, the structure of the songs opened up, the lyrical content flourished. The one constant though remained Michæl Gira’s amazing voice.
