Experimental music icon John Zorn rarely lacks the ability to surprise, and his hypnotic seven-movement suite IAO is a perfect example why. The work is a meditation on evil, specifically concerned with the Beast (the name IAO is refers to "Satan") and musically, it is classic Zorn, with dark ambient exoticism, ritualistic percussion, film noir music, death metal, and avant-garde classical. We hear this along with several other pieces for chamber ensemble, including Molly Thompson's Draft of Shadows, and Pete M. Wyer's 2002.
