Folkicide - Devotional Hymns From The Church Of The Darwinian Snuff Film

Review by Donna B McNicol

Folkicide's Devotional Hymns from the Church of the Darwinian Snuff Film is a unique and unconventional album that challenges the listener's expectations of what a hymn should sound like. The album blends elements of folk, rock, and electronic music with lyrics that are both thought-provoking and disturbing.

The album's title alone is enough to raise eyebrows, but the music itself is just as provocative. The opening track, "The Darwinian Snuff Film," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and lyrics that explore the darker side of humanity. Other standout tracks include "The Cult of the Anti-Mother," which features eerie electronic sounds and lyrics that touch on themes of religion and motherhood, and "The Ballad of the Misunderstood," which is a melancholy folk song about feeling like an outsider in society.

Summary by Donna B McNicol

Devotional Hymns from the Church of the Darwinian Snuff Film is not for the faint of heart. It's an album that requires the listener to engage with its challenging themes and sounds. But for those willing to take the journey, it's a rewarding and thought-provoking experience.
