Tao of the Dead was the seventh studio album by Texas rock band ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, originally released in 2011. ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead have consistently specialized in sound-tracking the breaking of the seventh seal. For those of you less schooled in scripture, that means they make music fit for the end of the world, whether it is an interior existence troubled by nightmares and doubt, or an exterior reality continually plagued by environmental disaster, neocolonialism and unending Wars on Whatever.
