Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded with Ryan Jones of Today Is the Day, the Brooklyn quartet's sophomore full-length is a suffocating collision of technical death metal and jagged noise rock. Frontman Doug Moore's frantic, unhinged vocal delivery intertwines with impossibly dense, atonal guitar structures that frequently unravel into free-jazz chaos. It firmly established the band as one of the most abrasive and forward-thinking acts in the modern extreme metal underground.
