The Emmy Award-winning sound designer Katie Halliday (“SAW”, “Stranger Things”, “Star Trek: Discovery”) also once again contributed sound effects to the album.
The lyrical concept about the dark side of human history, obscure stories and mysterious places is spun further on “Okkult III”. ATROCITY comments: “We look deep into the mental abysses of the serial killer Józef Cyppek from Szczecin, Poland, in the 1950s (‘Cypka’), experience the great conspiracy of the Schwarze Reichswehr after World War I (‘Born To Kill’), dive into the world of modern ghost conjuring (‘Faces From Beyond’) and into the occult machinations of the Vatican and the Order of the Knights Templar (‘Bleeding For Blasphemy’).”
