Album Notes & Community Reviews
Slightly dialing back the blistering speed of their earliest grindcore-adjacent releases, the British stalwarts fully lean into massive, mid-tempo groove on this outing. The devastatingly heavy, martial guitar riffs perfectly underscore their trademark lyrical obsession with endless, mechanized warfare.
