Album Notes & Community Reviews

A massive, repackaged double-disc set combining three of the band's most punishingly abrasive mid-80s studio albums alongside the brutal 'Young God' EP. The music is characterized by agonizingly slow, grinding basslines, industrial repetition, and Michael Gira's aggressively misanthropic lyrical commands. It represents the absolute zenith of New York noise rock extremity and sonic suffering.
