No Rest

No Rest is a prime example of what happens if, when writing a body of work about dealing with difficult situations, you let the bass player make a contribution... The result? Gothic horror that verges on the melodramatic, with more than a touch of doom. Features a guest vocal performance by Atom Kraft/Venom Inc.'s Tony Dolan.
