Album Notes & Community Reviews

Defined by jarring dissonance and intensely paranoid lyricism, 'Hide the Kitchen Knives' is an exercise in musical claustrophobia. The jagged time signatures and screeching instrumentation perfectly mirror themes of violence and severe psychological distress.

Genres

Descriptors: violence, death, dissonant, suicide, noisy, theatrical, literate, unpredictable
