✦✦✧✧ This album is nuts. Lo-fi avant garde progressive black cvlt noise, like Boris played on vinyl that also happens to be a cat’s scratching post. Put another way, I imagine this must be what non-metalheads think all metal sounds like.

★★☆☆ To call this simple sludge would be to miss the deconstructivism at work here. Throughout this challenging album, you can hear hints of Catch 33, Suffocation, and other modern metal landmarks… all shat through a meat grinder repeatedly. Definitely something to listen to at least once… although calling this “metal” requires a degree in ethnometallurgy or something.
