It is bizarre that we are arresting OAPs for holding anodyne placards while people like Berger fulminate about non-existent demands and fictional party policies. A sincere and modest expression of belief is criminalised while brazen lying and hyperbolic emoting are indulged.

This second chapter of Gnod’s trilogy originates in the same six day sessions as the first, at Hellfire studios near Dublin with producer Spud Murphy. The focus this time is on the transcendental heaviness and repetition that the band have often used as a primary fulcrum of their approach.
