Album Notes & Community Reviews

'When the Kite String Pops' is a harrowing, genre-blurring cornerstone of Louisiana sludge metal. The album creates a disturbing and misanthropic atmosphere by weaving together aggressive death metal riffs, Southern metal grooves, and nihilistic, drug-fueled lyrical narratives.
