Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed uniquely by jamming extensively in the studio and painstakingly editing the best passages into cohesive songs, the sludge metal pioneers lean heavily into bizarre, improvisational psychedelia. Bolstered by the inclusion of a second drummer, the sprawling, incredibly rhythmic tracks showcase a distinctly surreal and overwhelmingly dense energy.

Genres

Descriptors: improvisation, rhythmic, sludgy, dissonant, abrasive, noisy, long-form, experimental, repetitive
