Album Notes & Community Reviews

Staunchly refusing to modernize or over-produce their sound, this EP firmly secured the Los Angeles band's legendary status within the underground death metal scene. The tracks are steeped in cavernous, early-90s brutality, relying on blistering tremolo picking, infernal atmospheres, and fiercely anti-Christian lyricism. It is widely hailed as a masterpiece of pure, unadulterated old-school death metal.
