Masochist

A foundational release of the 'scene' era deathcore, 'Masochist' is infamous for its raw aggression and confrontational lyrical content. The album stands out for its early exploration of political themes and LGBTQ+ advocacy within a typically conservative extreme metal framework. Its combination of heavy breakdowns and high-pitched vocal delivery influenced a generation of Myspace-era bands, eventually leading to a more polished reissue on Ferret Music.
