With lyrics that draw inspiration from tentacle monsters, apocalyptic scripture, gay romance in the 1800s, and demon possession - and a sound that combines new-age electronics and programming with old-school, fiery guitar-driven rock, the band touts a catalog that is equally as dynamic as their energetic, critically acclaimed live show.
