"Well this is a surprise from left field.

Imagine ISIS, Sleep, Melvins, Pelican, Baroness, and Neurosis fuse into one hella sludgy, Post-stoner Doom abomination, with Boris-esque psychedelic tendencies and a touch of a blackened edge - and I mean that in the best way possible. There are also some Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne clichés here, with some Mogwai-esquenpost-rock breakdowns, some Black Flag riffing, and some parallels to Baltimore's Pulling Teeth, if you're familiar with underground hardcore punk. Add a phenomenal production job providing a DR of 9 (unheard of in this genre) and excellent cover art, and we have a genuinely great underground album.

The sound may need a little bit of refining and some finesse, and the vocals aren't my favorite in this style, but I think they'll have a great future (by my standards at least)."
