Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the visionary poet and vocalist Chris Desjardins, the Los Angeles group underwent a complete lineup overhaul for their third album, bringing in a highly formidable new rhythm section. 'Forever Came Today' bristles with a dark, swampy fusion of swamp-blues and frantic punk rock energy. It remains an intense, highly literary pinnacle of the West Coast deathrock and punk scenes.

Genres

Descriptors: bluesy, theatrical, distorted, literary, abrasive
