    I had a very difficult time getting into Liturgy, but I decided to give more of their albums a chance, and this one is probably my favorite and the one I'm most likely to recommend. It's probably the most approachable since it has an impressive variety of musical styling to bring this sense of primordial conflict; creation, destruction, and reconstruction in equal measure.

    Musical twists and spasms aside, Origin is the most approachable Liturgy album yet.

    Origin of the Alimonies is an astonishing piece of work that leaves the listener breathless and euphoric. It is haunting, stunning in its ambition and scope, and a rapturous piece of art. It is beautiful, brutal and bruising. It is challenging, pretentious and uncompromisingly complex. It’s ace.
