Tanya Tagaq had already successfully carved out her own niche as the world's original Inuit throat singing soloist, but Retribution is the moment where her songwriting finally reaches the towering heights of her vocal talents.
There's a lot of genres I could say this album is kind of like - it's sorta folk-punk, sorta industrial rock, sorta dark ambient, but really this album is a whole new genre of avant-garde environmental doom rock. Tracks like "Aorta" and "Cold" have created new strange, dark territories in music that have yet to be explored by any metal bands.
Retribution is the definitive experimental rock album of the decade to my ears.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
