Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as an appetizer for their subsequent full-length 'The Power to Believe', this EP finds the progressive rock legends operating with an aggressively heavy, modern edge. The release humorously deconstructs heavy metal tropes while incorporating grinding industrial noise and Adrian Belew's distorted vocal experiments.
