Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Brooklyn-based quartet pushes their dizzying, avant-garde approach to death metal into even more chaotic and abrasive territories. The record heavily incorporates the lurching feedback of noise rock and the rhythmic complexity of mathcore, recorded entirely live to capture an unhinged, suffocatingly tense atmosphere. It stands as a harrowing, deeply unsettling listening experience.
