    This is the most commercially accessible project on Cold Meat Industries. There are slow, spooky ambient pieces, but also louder guitar driven songs. Similar at times to the Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus and at others to Ministry or Circle of Dust. The female vocals have a haunting air to them. Song lyrics are very spiritual and searching. A dialogue, somewhat, between good and evil, heaven and hell. An adaptation of some St. Hildegard writings. The artwork in the CD booklet is incredible, as one can expect from C.M.I. projects. For those who are afraid of the clanking of mental destruction, this industrial is compelling and easier to listen to. A couple of former members of The November Commandment play in Sanctum, also.
