Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven primarily by the highly complex drum work and compositional vision of Dave Kerman, this project continues the legacy of the Rock in Opposition movement. 'Regarding Purgatories' features chaotic meter changes, jarring dissonance, and frantic, often surreal lyricism. The intensely demanding, idiosyncratic album serves as a major touchstone for late-period avant-prog and experimental rock.
