Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured dynamically without any prior rehearsal, this brutalizing meeting of avant-garde minds marries Haino's searing free-improvisation with the crushing weight of Aaron Turner's sludge metal trio. The relentless performance relies entirely on instinct, tearing through long-form, suffocating noise-rock jams defined by their agonizing volume and unpredictable tempo shifts.
