     █ █   "If renowned film composer Bernard Herrmann (Psycho)         █ █
     █ █   started a metal band, this is what it would sound like.      █ █
     █ █   There are layers upon layers of strings, guitar and bass,    █ █
     █ █   not to mention blasting drums, to overwhelm and excite the   █ █
     █ █   listener. This is most definitely not music for everyone,    █ █
     █ █   but it is music that everyone needs to hear. The basic       █ █
     █ █   backdrop is extreme metal, but instead of vocals, you get    █ █
     █ █   violins. The violins both [complement] the music and stand   █ █
     █ █   apart from it. They are most certainly audible at spots and  █ █
     █ █   then go into the background to [create] another layer of     █ █
     █ █   chaos and dissonance. When they are at the forefront of the  █ █
     █ █   musical attack, they much represent extreme metal vocals.    █ █
     █ █   Basilica's approach is akin to Ed Gein (circa It's a Shameà  █ █
     █ █   era) but with a maniacal sense of composure and chaos that   █ █
     █ █   Naked City wouldnÆt have minded to implement back in the     █ █
     █ █   Torture Garden days. Many bands experiment with violins to   █ █
     █ █   accent their sound, but Basilica is the only one with the    █ █
     █ █   vision (and stones) to make it [a] full-blown realization."  █ █
     █ █                                                                █ █
     █ █   BASILICA is a virtuoso chamber music group that was founded  █ █
     █ █   in 2005 by composer Ben S. Jacob in order to create          █ █
     █ █   uniquely powerful and intimate musical experiences. The      █ █
     █ █   current instrumentation of amplified string instruments and  █ █
     █ █   percussion is the latest step in the evolution of a music    █ █
     █ █   that seeks to combine bold rhythms, incisive harmonies,      █ █
     █ █   broad yet angular melodies, and towering sonorities into an  █ █
     █ █   experience of relentless intensity, a raging discourse on    █ █
     █ █   the fundamental emotionality that is at the core of human    █ █
     █ █   existence. The team of classically trained musicians that    █ █
     █ █   has been assembled for this project is dedicated to the      █ █
     █ █   perfection of sound and spirit that yields performances and  █ █
     █ █   recordings of uncommon precision, power, and beauty.         █ █
