Review:
Exprimental noise rock w a dirty sound. The music is somewhat hypnotic w Ergas fuzzy viola on top.
Im a bit unsure if they r still active, but they did held a concert in april this year. The members r also active in other bands/projects such as Hellfire and Ultralyd.

Review:
This is a very calm album w some rly strong melodies. The vocals consist of both harsh n clean rock vocal. As w their previous releases, this is well thought-out album that has a good production.
