Urfe by The Axis of Perdition

Urfe is the third studio album by British industrial black metal band The Axis of Perdition. It was released on January 16, 2009 on Code666 Records. It is a concept album about a man named Urfe who travels through the ruins of a desolate city all the while being led by a mysterious figure who goes by the name of "Pylon". The album, especially the first disc, is mostly a work of atmospheric spoken word being narrated by Leslie Simpson, who is also an actor who starred in several horror movies such as The Descent, Doomsday, and Dog Soldiers. The first disc 'Grief of the Unclean' is an ambient piece made up of atmospheric effects and spoken word. The second disc 'The Great Unwashed' is where the black metal and industrial metal comes into play, while still having some spoken word parts left, though more broken up in between the traditional black metal vocals of Brooke Johnson.
