is the second studio album by British crust punk band Amebix, released on 14 September 1985 through Alternative Tentacles.
[1] "The Moor" is based upon "Requiem" by György Ligeti, famously used in the Lunar monolith sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It was written in response to (and somewhat in honour of) previous drummer Martin Baker being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and being involuntarily institutionalised by his parents.
AllMusic praised its successful merging of genres, combined with "tribal rhythms and apocalyptic aesthetic" with bleak yet hopeful lyrics.
Again the ability to blend genres with both power and darkness remarked on, counterbalanced by moments of lyrical hope.
