They've composed and performed as a trio throughout this entire run, on studio albums, on soundtracks, and onstage. Here, the trio reaches a new level of creative mind meld.

The song titles here are among his most evocative, too. Lead single \"Weeping Ghost\" thrillingly conjures its title figure in a wash of synthesizer, making the listener's neck hairs stand on end as the aural specter stalks the halls of a dilapidated mansion. The pulsing \"The Dead Walk\" makes the zombie apocalypse feel like a rave. The gloomy, atmospheric closing track \"Carpathian Darkness\" casts shadow on the album with its strikingly effective minimal piano and splashes of twinkling synth.
