Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a companion piece to their previous album 'NULL', this record continues the Canadian outfit's punishing exploration of noise rock and sludge metal. The tracks lean heavily into agonizing, slow-moving post-hardcore dissonance, utilizing saxophone and synthesizer to heighten the overwhelming sense of dread. It acts as a fiercely aggressive, depressive manifestation of collective pandemic trauma.
