Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as the aggressive, guitar-driven companion piece to its sister album 'Heliocentric', this ambitious concept record fiercely dissects fundamentalist Christian theology and human exceptionalism. The collective leans heavily into their abrasive sludge-metal roots, delivering crushing riffs and impassioned vocals to underscore the project's dense philosophical critiques.
