“Free metal destructo jazz” is how this is described and I couldn’t put it better. Noisy crunchy guit centered madness a la Ruins, Bungle, Zorn. Crazy improv, noisy and difficult at times, free jazz in character but a certain metalish heaviness present. “Vocals” are that of Diamanda Galas witnessing her puppy being hit by a car, non-sensical, wacked. Cool as shit, I say.

1) noisy guit+drums intro, turns tom tom tribal beat, feedback and screams, mellows after 5 min, launches again this time with sax
2) free noise onslaught, devolves, challenging
3) slow creepy start, tribal and weird
4) full on bashout, brief
5) sparse ambient trippy
6) distorto noise
7) psychedelic noise dirge jam turns crazy Japanese manic
8) trippy sparser- minimal guits, drums mostly and strange vocs
9) live, some pretty guit work amidst the madness, all over the map
