GOD ALONE
KNOWS MY
SORROW!
SORROW!
SORROW!
GOD ALONE
KNOWS MY
SORROW!
SORROW!
SORROW!
WHAT WILL YOU SAY
OF THE BOND WE HAD
TENDER COMRADE
FOR I HAVE LEARNED
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS
AND BROTHERS
ONLY LOVE EACH OTHER
BROTHERS IN ARMS
BROTHERS IN EACH OTHERS ARMS
ALL THE LOVE
GOD WOULD ALLOW
BUT ALL GODS LOVE
MEANS NOTHING NOW
THE BITTER BLOOD
OF MANY FOES SUSTAINS ME
AND HEAVY
IS MY HAMMER
SWINGING ROUND
AND SOFT ARE THEIR THROATS
AND SOFT ARE THEIR SKULLS
AND FRAGRANT IS
MY MANY FLOWER’D CROWN
GOD ALONE
KNOWS MY
SORROW!
SORROW!
SORROW!
GOD ALONE
KNOWS MY
SORROW!
SORROW!
SORROW!

Wolfe's voice is an ethereal swirl, but it can cut like a blade. Her guitar, meanwhile, is a reaper's scythe, and with it, she flails like a Balrog summoned deep and raging from the bowels of Middle Earth.
It's an album of dreams and nightmares, a sludge-gaze torrent of painful questions hurled into the void.
A brave, bold and empowering listen. Michael Mueller
