Album Notes & Community Reviews
The North Dakota outfit's debut full-length leans heavily into the murky, swampy aesthetics of old-school death metal. Shunning over-produced technicality, the record relies on suffocatingly heavy, downtuned guitar grooves, guttural vocals, and complex tempo shifts to explore lyrics grounded in existential philosophy and the absurdist literature of Albert Camus.
