Album Notes & Community Reviews

Refusing to be categorized, the Michigan outfit's sophomore release is a bizarre, hyper-technical labyrinth of avant-garde extreme metal. Combining the complex riffing of technical thrash with jarring funk interludes, surrealistic lyrics, and sudden stylistic detours, the album remains a confounding and brilliant staple of experimental heavy music.
