Tcomposed by 18 tracks in its digipak version and 11 tracks in vinyl version, »Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us« sees the band forging new and at times nightmarish territories, alongside their signature walls of detuned guitar, corroded percussion and VHS atmospherics.

Inspiration for many of the tracks came from countless live shows and even soundcheck experiments in which extreme, harsh electronics evolved, as did punk/early industrial tempos, all of which were then fused into the DNA of »Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us«.

Khost remarks: “We hoped that the experience would be something like venturing into an off-limits wing of some gallery after-hours, with each turn more disorientating than where you just were.”

Collaborators include Axebreaker (aka Terence Hannum of Locrian), acclaimed cellist Jo Quail, and Berlin-based sound designer Manuel Liebeskind.

The CD and the vinyl are different beasts. The CD is reinforced with 7 extra tracks including Adrian Stainburner’s incredible remix of »Yellow Light« featuring Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire, Wrangler) on vocals, and Bereneces adding his signature deep, dark D&B sound to the track »Death Threat«. The LP editions feature a different mix by Khost especially for vinyl.
