Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced with John Zorn and utilizing mind-bending electronic circuit-bending techniques, 'Kaleidoscalp' is an intensely bizarre foray into avant-garde metal. The entirely instrumental project manipulates heavy experimental rock riffs into fragmented, dizzying sonic puzzles. It stands as one of the eccentric guitar virtuoso's most relentlessly heavy and unapologetically complex solo releases.
