I'm probably going to piss off a lot of Lustmord fans by saying this album is my new personal favorite. For me, the combination of vocals and dark ambient is so seamless and natural that it makes other dark ambient feel empty without it. The human voice is an incredible instrument, and it's being showcased in fantastic form here. The music that it overlaps with is rich and captivating, as you would expect from any Lustmord performance. What I've enjoyed the most on this album is the amount of patience each song has. The progressions are natural and fluid. You're given time to savor every layer of sound as they gradually rise in and fade away. It's an epic journey through sound, one that I've been taking continually over the last few days.If you like Lustmord then you already like The Word As Power. Clicking 'buy' is the easiest decision you'll make this week.
