A Place To Bury Strangers - Transfixiation

2016-01-28 / Alastor / Reads: 3018

"Worship" destroyed me, pulled me in the chair and drilled a hole in my stomach - it was an absolute album, total, though perhaps not very revealing, taking into consideration previous works of group.

The "Susurrus Lake" album from neo-classical trio Diodati requires attention, at least in the initial phase of familiarizing with the material.
