The debut full-length from the Swedish band is an overwhelmingly devastating fusion of post-rock crescendos and agonizing screamo vocals. Intercut heavily with spoken-word audio samples from a Swedish radio documentary discussing severe psychiatric illness and institutionalization, the record is conceptually harrowing. It achieved immense cult reverence as a flawless, emotionally draining masterpiece of the European post-hardcore underground.
