Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Canadian extreme metal outfit unleashed a violently chaotic, hyper-fast debut heavily defining the 'Northern Hyperblast' style of death metal. Sylvain Houde's incredibly rapid, unhinged vocal delivery tears through the remarkably dense, occult-themed deathgrind instrumentation and highly unpredictable tempo shifts. The fiercely aggressive, relentlessly complex recording established them as a remarkably unique, extreme force in the North American underground.
