Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded initially in 1990 but shelved due to label collapse, this archival release finally documents the Dutch group's incredibly raw, nascent sound. The recording predates Martin van Drunen's involvement, presenting a primitive, agonizingly heavy iteration of their signature death-doom aesthetic.
