Krautrock styled; Neo Gothic Progressive
Latest: The Dream We Carry (2024) to be released June 28.
Beauty Will Save the World (2015)
The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus' debut Gift of Tears sounded like Popol Vuh and Emtidi met head on with Harmonia - with a big dose of intense spirituality a la Dead Can Dance. The EP Le Liturgie Pour le Fin du Temps sounded like a Krautrock Delerium. Other albums left a big WTF behind. And here we are with their first new album in 20 years. RYM gives it the genre of Avant Folk, the same as Moondog and Catherine Ribeiro (shakes head. Huh?). Anyway, forget it, the band defies categorization. Are they even from here? Earth, that is...

Masterpiece my friend... masterpiece. Probably the most criminally overlooked band EVER. They should be mega in my ideal universe.
