DREAM OF AN OPIUM EATER's official bio reads as follows: "Back in the old days, a pianist usually accompanied screenings of silent films. With DREAM OF AN OPIUM EATER, a handful of ace metal musicians carry on this tradition. They play intense metal to a number of horror short films projected on a screen above them. In this way, they will bathe all ears and eyes in icy horror and fright. Last year, [Ruzicka] joined in on a metallic accompaniment to 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', so the surreal and disturbing images on the screen are very likely to find a parallel in the guitar-borne nightmare from the speakers."
