Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by avant-garde visionary Bill Laswell, this instrumental trio's sophomore effort is a dense, pulverizing collision of heavy riffing and dub aesthetics. Devoid of vocals, the complex rhythmic shifts and metallic guitar noise predate and heavily inform the development of nineties post-metal and math rock.
