โ'Filth's more annoying cousin I'm afraid.
๐ญI was pretty excited going into 'Filth', and guess what, my optimism quickly went to zero, and I was praying for the same not to happen here, but I have been informed that they do here basically the same, what they did in their debut, so trust me guys when I tell you that I was scared going into this one.

Before: I'm genuinely scared to listen to this after Filth. It can't get heavier, it just cant. There is no way.
