Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Ben Hur' is a deeply abrasive, technically brilliant precursor to the exploding 90s math rock and post-hardcore scenes. The band constructs an anxious, incredibly heavy atmosphere driven by dissonant, noisy guitar interplay and cryptic, highly aggressive uncommon time signatures.
