The meeting place of the industrial rock of Ministry and NIN, and the cabaret of Kurt Weill (Young Gods would go on to cover some fo Weill's material) and Tom Waits. With its pounding drums and deep guttural vocals, this is likely to have also been listening material for artists such as Rammsteinn and Mike Patton.
The Young Gods had named themselves after a track by the experimental band Swans, and managed to get that band's Roli Mosimann to produce this album. The album veers between ferocious guitar assault, mechanical beats, and orchestral flourishes, showing that this is not your average industrial album. Case in point, the first track is in waltz time!
