Album Notes & Community Reviews
Formed by Jun Konagaya (Grim) and Tomo Kuwahara, this incredibly rare Japanese industrial release dives into themes of extreme physical and psychological terror. The duo utilizes abrasive power electronics, harsh tape loops, and ritualistic chanting to create an overwhelmingly oppressive, claustrophobic atmosphere. It is a legendary, foundational document of the Japanese noise scene, anticipating the extremity of later acts like Merzbow.
