Album Notes & Community Reviews

A bewildering instrumental supergroup formed by Watchtower's Ron Jarzombek and Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster. The project was famously composed using a deeply complex, self-invented twelve-tone system, resulting in a staggering, brain-melting display of aggressive, labyrinthine extreme metal virtuosity.
