Style: dark monumental melancholic gothic rock

no less than a milestone in dark and haunting gothic rock is this monumental sophomore full-length [1988] by legendary British five-piece, sounding completely different to their peers and marking the start of grandiose, melancholic epoch: mystery-entwined compositions sound luring, uplifting, splendidly worked out with crystal clear arrangements and timeless hooks, dream-like atmosphere and creepy, monstrous yet somehow seductive vocal style of Carl McCoy, adapting his voice to emotions that lyrics based on Cthulhu mythos in particular and occult in general would convey, themes of spiritual transformation and enlightenment enhance the aura of mystery and imbue it with intellectual, almost ritualistic intensity that has lost none of its magical allure up to this day, while impetuous Moonchild has ended up in UK charts back in the day
