Album Notes & Community Reviews

Adding yet another towering installment to their collaborative catalog, this concert release was sourced from a blistering Tokyo club performance. Returning heavily to traditional rock instrumentation rather than electronics, the trio delivers a remarkably loud, dense interpretation of power-trio dynamics that constantly threatens to collapse into total sonic chaos.
