Album Notes & Community Reviews

The New York masked trio radically infuses their dissonant, terrifying blackened death metal with blaring brass sections and chaotic free-jazz arrangements. Thematically, the album explores the opulence, decay, and towering architectural horrors of their home city, presenting a uniquely urban take on extreme metal. The project was heavily lauded for its suffocating atmosphere and staggering musical complexity.
