2011 release, the most focused work yet from this utterly demented Texas duo that started out in the mid '90s as a pure noise project but gradually evolved into the weird, lumbering black-dirge outfit they are today. The album features thumping, minimal drum-machine pounding courtesy of the relentlessly decisive Doktor Omega, droning dissonant riffs that veer from hypnotic noise to dismal quasi-black metal buzz and RKF's narcoleptic croaking and malevolent sneer bathed in reverb and amp skuzz. Guitars hum and drone while the distant howling of wolves and ear-piercing screams drift across the background. The experience is a mutant cross between late-'80s British Psych/Drone rockers Loop and notorious improv/Black Metal freakazoids Abruptum.
