Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a staggering seventeen-year hiatus, the theatrical avant-rock collective flawlessly revives their bafflingly complex, darkly comedic sound. Utilizing a vast array of custom-built instruments, the manic compositions careen unpredictably between terrifying avant-garde metal riffs and absurdist, multi-part progressive vocal harmonies.
