Reviews
“La ricetta è semplice: un sacco di allucinazioni indotte da contrabbassi, chitarre che chitarre non sembrano, linee vocali da incubo e in acido totale e ritmiche scomposte fino al midollo. Roba buona, senza ombra di dubbio.”
– Despair listed on Hidden Tracks published on the italian webzine Impatto Sonoro, full article here.
“This album may prove a challenging to some, even the most hardened Noise-Rock veterans. However, perseverance is the key here and should you choose to exercise patience then it’ll be the best thing you ever do.”
