Album Notes & Community Reviews

Astoundingly, this debut full-length album arrives nearly twenty-five years after the original formation of this pioneering Long Island death metal group. The tracking features founding Defeated Sanity vocalist Will Smith, combining utterly guttural, inhuman vocals with bizarre, progressive dissonance and hyper-technical, unpredictable rhythmic shifts. The highly abstract, sci-fi-themed release instantly established them as a visionary, avant-garde force within modern brutal death metal.
