Album Notes & Community Reviews

The New Jersey trio's incredibly brief debut album laid a remarkably fast, devastatingly chaotic foundation for the modern technical grindcore movement. Completely eschewing traditional bass guitar, Jon Chang's violently shrieked vocals and intense anime-inspired lyricism cut through Dave Witte's impossibly fast blast beats and angular, highly dissonant guitar noise. The remarkably uncompromising, deeply esoteric recording remains a foundational, highly respected text in the American extreme metal underground.
