Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released posthumously following the band's dissolution, this intense sophomore effort fundamentally bridges the gap between traditional hardcore punk and extreme metal. The hyper-aggressive, dissonant riffs and jagged, unpredictable time signatures laid the direct groundwork for the technical mathcore subgenre that flourished in the late 1990s.
