The album’s like mainlining Grinding Death Metal at a lethal dose. If you liked the more intricate, melodic stuff that we’ve done, this may not be the one for you. If you’re a fuckin’ maniac that wants to pound some beers and smash up some tombstones, this is the record you’ve been waiting for.” The album was recorded at the band’s home-built studio Darker Corners and produced by EXHUMED and Alejandro Corredor (BRUJERIA, NAUSEA).
