Album Notes & Community Reviews

The London collective's sixth full-length record utilizes a confrontational blend of brass fanfares, aggressive electronic pulses, and heavy rock distortion. The production emphasizes a claustrophobic and cinematic atmosphere, drawing from both the lineage of industrial music and experimental horror scores. It conceptually explores themes of hive mentality and societal decay through a high-contrast and often abrasive sonic frame.
