Trinity tells the story of a fool’s hellish journey through the blood-soaked deserts of the American Southwest through religious, occult, and alchemical allusions.CD copies of the album include a tarot card specially designed for the release by celebrated German illustrator Christoph Mueller.In 2011, Sons of Perdition provided the score and voice acting for the award-winning Southern Gothic animation, The Backwater Gospel.
