The final release from this short-lived band from Texas. They existed from 1999 to 2003 and made two EPs (Emanating Darkness in 2000 and in 2002) and were featured on a Slayer tribute album playing “Angel of Death“.
This was the only release unavailable in full on this site, until now. As a band I discovered through ANUS, where their music was given positive reviews, I believe this release (which seems to have been out of print for almost 20 years now) is one that should be heard.
Musically, I would be most apt to compare this to something like Cryptopsy, with a slight math rock influence to it (especially prevalent on the untitled tracks). This is likely their most experimental release overall.
