The incredibly inventive Chicago group seamlessly fused terrifying metallic sludge with furious bursts of free jazz and saxophone improvisation. Frontman Bruce Lamont's dual role as screaming vocalist and saxophonist positions the record as one of the most uniquely eclectic extreme metal releases of the era.
