Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded days before the band's dissolution and Jon Chang's retirement from vocals, 'Longhena' is a technical grindcore masterpiece. The album combines blinding speed and aggression with surprising melodic complexity, featuring intricate guitar work that borders on neoclassical. It serves as a furious, futuristic swan song for one of the genre's most forward-thinking bands.
