From beginning to end, “10,000 Feet” is filled with dark, sadistic, repeated low-note chords, a dominating drum set, and shrill, bestial screams. “Sundial” features intricate guitar riffs sequenced with driving, propulsive bass strangely reminiscent of a Black Sabbath throwback.

After the first, furious convulsion of violence, the militias began a more systematic campaign of kidnap and execution. The bodies of their victims, bearing signs of bestial torture, were often tossed into sewers or garbage dumps. Jihadi groups responded in kind. The U.S. military had passed on most security responsibilities to Iraqi forces, but they proved unable to halt the killings.
