๐Ÿ”ธ The atmosphere of ๐—ฃ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€ is totally special. The character that inhabits the album is a cold and dangerous personality between an emotionless voyeur and a sociopath. The guest vocals are exceptional, the musical touches are unusual and the whole concept makes it quite awesome !
