I'm deeply saddened that it took me until Sept. 2022 to discover the existence of this band and album. How could my music friends have let me down so thoroughly? How could I not have just sensed the presence of this masterpiece and channeled it from thin air. Absolutely crushing desert sludge, with groove that makes you want to bang your head...against a rusty nail on a prairie fence post. Hayduke X

At its core, this reminds me of Dirge (France), but this ventures further in both the guttural register and the realm of clean vocals. Add a few interesting rhythmic patterns to spice things up, and voilà. Alice M.
