Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally rush-released to combat the sale of low-quality illicit recordings, this set captures the fearsome 'double trio' lineup during their 1994 return to the stage in Buenos Aires. The complex interplay of two drummers, two guitarists, and two bassists generates an immense, mechanical sound that bridges classic progressive structures with modern industrial weight. It stands as a powerful introduction to the band's muscular 1990s reinvention.
