Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the intense, posthumous swan song from one of the most influential metallic hardcore acts of the era, this six-track collection consists of the final material recorded before their disbandment. The blindingly complex riffs and erratic time signatures perfectly capture their chaotic energy, while surprisingly introducing moody, melodic clean vocals on 'Afghamistam'. The release stands as a monumental, punishing conclusion to their highly revered discography.
