Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pioneering grindcore act's fifteenth studio album showcases their continued willingness to push the boundaries of extreme music. While retaining their blistering, politically charged ferocity, the record incorporates surprising elements of clean choral vocals and avant-garde saxophone improvisation.
