Grindstone

The Norwegian ensemble completed their radical transition from an acoustic jazz quartet into a terrifyingly aggressive, avant-garde metal powerhouse. The album violently splices hyper-technical death metal structures with screeching free-jazz saxophone and frantic classical interludes, paving the way for their acclaimed 'Blackjazz' era.
