Description/Reviews: 

On this album these different musical worlds merge: Old acoustic instruments are contrasted by electronic sounds. Songs with a chamber-music like instrumentation alternate with tracks in a full band line-up. So Against the Fear of Death is a truely unique blend of Classic, Folk and Prog, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the lyrics: Old English and American poems come
to life here. All of them dealing with the topic of death and how to cope and live with it. A topic that evokes questions that we will probably never be able to answer. It is art and music that help us to deal with them.
