Album Notes & Community Reviews

This crucial archival release fully restores the foundational 1990 recording sessions of the drone metal pioneers, containing their debut EP alongside unreleased material. Notably featuring vocal contributions and guitar work from Kurt Cobain shortly before Nirvana's massive breakthrough, the tracks lay the groundwork for a genre built entirely on impossibly heavy, glacial guitar feedback. The collection documents the absolute genesis of American drone-doom.
