Within the magma, the pained yelps of front-man Demain Johnson roar on, fighting fire with fire for nine exhilarating minutes of vitriol and despair. Space to breathe is not for sale, apparently, and continues to be denied on the hefty noisecore beatdowns that follow.

One thing in particular that sticks out whilst listening to this album is the violence that lives inside it. At times it’s near overwhelming but if that’s something you can embrace then this record could stand out as a favourite for you.

There's a real uneasy sense of desperate sadness to the pummeling riffs and screams here. Like sure, maybe my face is getting beaten inch by inch into the back of my skull, but the guy doing it is bawling his eyes out. No amount of surgery could make life worth living again, but damn bro are you good? You know I'm here for you right bro? I'll always be here for you bro.
Also I can't see or smell or taste and ow it hurts oh my god it hurts so bad.
A desperate and tragic story told through a combination of noise rock, post-hardcore and sludge metal, reminiscent of groups like KEN mode or Chat Pile. Although there's constant dissonance and chaos throughout the album, you can easily appreciate the narrator's emotion and pain thanks to an incredible and piercing vocal delivery.
This sounds like a more aggressive Neurosis and fuckkk it just presses all the right buttons for me. The sluginess is dank and ugly that sends you to a pit of dispare while the hardcore playing of the guitars and drums give you the energy to groove the hell out in this filthy muck of an album. I found the first half to be better overall but that doesn't take away from the album in the slightest for me.
What an awesome combination of Sludge and P-H. What astounded me was the lead singer vocals, pure raw desperation filled within these vocals. Lyricism is blunt and speaks necessarily, the delivery is crazy as fuck. Complex drummings in some songs really make this more energetic.
Brutally delivered, this album is packed very very desperately and angrily. Title of these tracks are very very concerning especially the first one. Intense moments that blend mathcore are found in some spaces too. ... read more
