The perfect conclusion to an amazing series of recordings. Take a step back and you'll see it's also a concept that allows all Flowers for Bodysnatchers releases to be viewed as one larger idea. Love, loss, illness, horror and pain are just some of the designs that have permeated all FFB's works. Without a doubt the finest and most moving neoclassical music that's been released in years.

From the talent behind the dark ambient genius that is Flowers for Bodysnatchers, ANIHILA is nothing short of genius in itself. A fantastic dynamic release that defies the endless droning that Space Ambient can be. Sweeping cold drones that ring with the industrial clanging of machines long forgotten. Isolation permeates nearly every moment only to briefly give way to despair and fear. Intelligent composition and superb production make this a stand out release!

When an album this profound is produced you find yourself looking at life from a very different point of view. To transcribe a physical illness into musical form is no easy task, yet Flowers for Bodysnatchers understands exactly how to do this. And with this being such a personal release it's been handled with such deft perfection. It is as pained as it is beautiful and as violent as it is sublime. This is genre bending cinematic dark ambient and its absolute best!

Never before have I encounter an artist who can portray so much tension and emotion in their work. The brooding string arrangements are frantic and terrifying. The almost Silent Hill-esque feeling of the recordings is perfectly fitting for this holocaust themed mini album. It is sad, lonely and quite horrific.

Brutal murder, bizarre ritualistic killings, dismembered bodies. Flowers for Bodysnatchers backs up this horrific tale of occult murder with deft perfection. Each track leads us deeper into this characters mad decent into the abyss. With a narrative that would turn the stomach of even the most hardened author. We’re presented with string arrangements that would make Hitchcock envious. Piano movements that are beautiful and haunting and analogue drones that take you far beyond the darkness.

A perfect excuse to turn off the lights and allow the darkness to envelop you. This album truly does sound like a tale of otherworldly revenge. The Rosenshoul's all encompassing signature industrial drone tinged with a hint of neoclassical atmosphere make this a nightmare to remember. It's Silent Hill for the victorian era.
