Do not stream this on your laptop speakers. Put on headphones. Turn off the lights. Let Missa X consume you. You will not emerge the same. Have you listened to Missa X yet? Is the anonymous choir real, or is it AI? Drop your theories in the comments below.

For some listeners, the industrial noise and deconstructed Latin will feel like nihilism dressed up in fancy robes. For others (myself included), it is the most honest spiritual album in decades.

9/10 Listen if you like: Lingua Ignota, The Haxan Cloak, or attending gothic cathedrals at 2 AM.
