Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completely remixes, remasters, and re-sequences the foundational early recordings from the critically acclaimed Atlanta metal ensemble. Gathering tracks from their 'Slick Leg' and 'Lifesblood' EPs, the release documents their transition from raw, frenetic metallic hardcore into the sprawling, sludge-laden progressive metal that would soon define their career. It serves as an essential prequel to their breakthrough studio LP, 'Remission'.
