Fans of all things beautiful ugly: heavy classical tinged metallic darkness. A supergroup of sorts, led by layered violin/strings, heavy fuzz bass and sonic drums when these aren't folk tinged quiet somber studies. Fans of Swans, early 4AD artists. I hesitate to say Goth, rather more like progenitors like Current 93 evolved into metal. Most songs start quiet then explode, vocals if any are quiet spoken (mostly). Most songs blend together and are long. More compositions than songs. Epic.
