Flemish Altruism (Constituent Parts 1993-1996)

The incredibly abrasive debut from the San Francisco trio stands as a massively dense, uncompromising intersection of 1990s post-hardcore and math rock. Featuring aggressively complex, shifting time signatures and chaotic bursts of screamo-adjacent vocals, the recording frequently descends into terrifying, dissonant noise-rock passages. It remains a legendary, deeply challenging artifact of the highly intellectual mid-90s underground.
