\"Death and the Bible\" focuses on the band's favourite themes of decline and religion, from the tragic subject of Incontinent who wishes for death to escape the body that is rebelling against him, to Mary Magdalena who shagged Roman centurions, fishermen, thieves and even \"that Jesus Christ\".
\"Death and the Bible\" creates a dark, melancholy atmosphere and beautifully captures the worst moods of life.

The songs get even more meaning when you play them in the right order. ;) ***
\"We like songs about Death, and we like songs about Christanity, so logically we HAD to make this album. Recorded in Hamburg in 2001 and with guest musicians who played on The Sea and with Tom Waits and Lou Reed, this cd has many odd, exotic intruments such as pump organs, celestes and whistles among others. 18 songs of religion and mortality on one album, our 15th studio album finds us walking hand in hand with Death and Jesus.\" -Martyn Jaques
