Album Notes & Community Reviews
A bizarre, visionary sci-fi concept album, 'Dimension Hatr枚ss' uses aggressively dissonant chords, erratic time signatures, and mechanical precision to create a uniquely cybernetic atmosphere. The Canadian quartet effectively pioneered a strange, futuristic hybrid of punk aggression and avant-garde, progressive metal composition. Chronicling the macro- and microscopic adventures of their cyborg mascot, it is a wildly creative, intellectually challenging milestone in technical thrash metal.
