The only thing that truly holds this project back is its length. It goes on for 17 minutes longer than it should. A tighter listening experience would absolutely benefit this record.

One of the most abrasive, technical, and sonically unique albums I've ever heard tbh.

Chaotic genre-blending aside, this album is what insanity sounds like, plain and simple. The drums are very black metal-coded in ... read more
