Album Notes & Community Reviews

The monumental debut full-length from the Auckland collective immediately established their signature, terrifyingly dense sound. The recording relies on shifting, complex time signatures and overwhelmingly bleak, dissonant guitar textures that drastically elevated the boundaries of modern extreme metal.
