Album Notes & Community Reviews

Exhibiting mind-bending rhythmic technicality and a manic, theatrical dual-vocal delivery, the British act delivered a masterclass in extreme musical eccentricity. The highly syncopated, detuned riffing became a foundational blueprint for the emerging djent movement. Despite their eventual hiatus, the album's influence on modern progressive metalcore is immeasurable.
