Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Chicago-based solo project of K.K. delivers an utterly primitive, shockingly bizarre interpretation of slam death metal. '4 - "Enduring Freedom"' utilizes snare drums that sound like clanging metal pipes, knuckle-dragging down-tuned riffs, and pig-squeal vocals to construct a profoundly rhythmic, almost avant-garde extreme metal experience. The highly conceptual EP addresses historical warfare and the horrific atrocities of the War on Terror.
