Album Notes & Community Reviews

Plagued by severe addiction issues during its creation, the band's seventh LP incorporates suffocating, sludge-laden tempos that deviate significantly from their typical thrash-paced industrial sound. The dark, cynical atmosphere is frequently punctuated by bizarre vocal effects and dissonant horn sections, reflecting the chaotic environment of its recording sessions.
