Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fronted by doom metal legend Scott 'Wino' Weinrich, this major-label release perfectly encapsulates the band's gritty, biker-culture approach to Black Sabbath-worshipping heavy metal. Despite receiving immense critical praise for its monolithic, fuzz-heavy riffs and Wino's weathered vocal delivery, the album failed commercially, leading to the band's temporary dissolution shortly after.
