Another great record from the Chicago trio

I love it! It's still the kind of dark, moody, thoughtful work I love from Chelsea Wolfe, but there are moments and sounds that are a bit brighter and more positive—and I really enjoy them! The songwriting and vocals on this are so good. It really feels like she was able to take all of her experience up to this point and channel it into mastery of the craft. 

This one hits all of the notes that I love so much about Chelsea Wolfe—dark, haunting, beautiful, and an epic finish. If she's got a new album coming, I can't wait.

“They are shrieking, betting ponies
folksy like the idiot winds
Blowing over frozen water
It's your neighbors they are taking in
cold, black nights
Taking in cold, black nights”

“Against smoke and rubber bullets 
By the dawn’s early light 
Citizens stood for justice 
Their voices ringing through the night 
And there were bloody footprints 
Where mercy should have stood 
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets”
