Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Texas extreme metal pioneers' debut album presents a raw, uncompromising synthesis of murky death metal riffing and cold black metal aggression. Thematically rooted in Sumerian mythology and occult magic, the dark, hyper-speed compositions laid the foundation for their unique 'mythological occult metal' style.
