'tao of the dead' is their seventh album. the band stripped down to its core four-piece lineup for the record, deviating from the past two records that featured a filled-out six-piece band. this resulted in a stripped-down record with heavy emphasis on guitar. it’s a two-part record, each side with a specific musical tuning; part one in d and part two in f. the album can be listened to as 16 different movements or two lengthy tracks. part one: 'tao of the dead' is split into eleven tracks, whereas part two: strange news from another planet is five songs combined into one. lead singer conrad keely described the album's composition; "it's the way i listened to albums when i was a kid, seeing as some of my favorite records were pink floyd's dark side of the moon, yes' relayer and close to the edge... i always liked listening to records that were just a continuous piece, like an orchestra or a symphony."
