Album Notes & Community Reviews

The San Francisco underground veterans deliver a conceptually driven album tackling themes of human devolution and primitive violence. Musically, the release continues their highly idiosyncratic blend of galloping twin-guitar traditional heavy metal infused with distinctly Celtic, folk-inspired melodic sensibilities.
