" Akuma no Uta" meaning "The Devil's Song". This album stands out as a combination of all the genres, stylings, and sounds of their previous works, yet maintains a mostly 70s rock sound with a bit of sludge, punk, drone, and post-rock. Originally released in 2003 on Diwphalanx Records with minimalistic artwork, it was re-issued in 2005 on Southern Lord Records. The album cover of the US CD/Japan LP is a direct tribute to the cover of the Nick Drake album Bryter Layter. It is also slightly extended to around 39 minutes, almost the exact length of the Bryter Layter album. The notable difference in the cover design is Takeshi holding his double-neck Ibanez instead of an acoustic guitar.
