Album Notes & Community Reviews

The French instrumental trio delves deeper into the occult intersections of motorik rhythm and abrasive feedback on their sophomore full-length. Stripped of all vocals, the compositions rely on hypnotic, cyclical bass lines and relentless drumming enveloped in a thick fog of distorted guitar noise. The recording perfectly encapsulates their self-described 'occult rock' aesthetic.
