Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notorious Ohio-based solo entity Athenar continues his unholy crusade of filthy, adrenaline-fueled speed metal and violently sleazy black 'n' roll. Stripping back any modern production polish, the record relies entirely on fiercely aggressive, galloping riffs and deeply infernal, satanic lyricism. It is a wildly energetic, unapologetically raw celebration of underground heavy metal grime.
