Fermented deep in the underground depths of pandemonium, this release contains many familiar aspects of the Discarnatus sound.
builds to a wall of sound crescendo reminiscent of early emocore for just a moment before the chaos resumes.

plenty in the way of deliberate and crunchy groove, dynamic usage of riff and tempo changes, and compelling vocal melodies that rival their doomy forefathers
