Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by Devin Townsend, 'City' is an overwhelmingly chaotic and manic explosion of industrial thrash metal. The album is incredibly dense and heavy, utilizing mechanical blast beats and complex walls of sound to deliver a profoundly aggressive, misanthropic sonic assault.

Genres

Descriptors: complex, industrial, abrasive, wall-of-sound, relentless
