Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Colorado duo expanded the boundaries of American black metal by injecting their blistering, misanthropic assault with the massive, tectonic riffs of Neurosis-style sludge. Featuring an appearance by Jarboe, the album is a grueling, primitive masterpiece of extreme musical violence and atmospheric dread.
