Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the gritty, industrial-tinged New York underground, the ensemble delivers an incredibly dense and confrontational set of noise rock. Anchored by the commanding vocals of Algis Kizys, the record embodies the heavy, abrasive post-punk squall characteristic of the era's pigfuck scene.
