Out of the US comes another very interesting horde with five intense tracks of aggression. Filthy, hateful and noisy, this band fills the gap left by Ildjarn. The simplicity is there, as is the hatred. The sound is also rather similar of Ildjarn's later releases, just slightly more chaotic. Many bands have tried to reach the sound that Vidar Vaaer had on his classic output before he declared Ildjarn dead, however the simplicity of Ildjarn seems to be rather hard to copy as there are few who succeed. Some have made their own interpretation to much greater success. Bone Awl for one, Ancestors and Vordr are other good examples.
As with Ildjarn, the vocals are high pitched shrieks, though the vocals presented here have a distinct sound of despair which I don't find in Ildjarn.
The sound is set very high on this release, which makes for a very chaotic experience. You mainly
hear the guitars in the mix, followed by the drums and the vocals. This is pure audial aggression!
Stand out tracks are "III" and "IV".

Released as a tape twice and then as a 12", all released in very limited quantities. I would suggest you buy it if you find it!
