Harsh noise. Lots of feedback, crashing drums, abrasive sounds, pounding thuds. A pure litmus test for your listeners. Takes no prisoners. Put this on and give the Chief Engineer a momentary scare. For fans of Physical Demon, Jliat, Werewolf Jerusalem, Melt-Banana, and all good, relentless, bashout weirdos. No FCCs.

1. Pummeling and crashing head bob, nice hi-hat rhythm to latch onto. (2:46)
*2. Chainsaw horror, samples, looped keyboards. (2:31)
3. Very overdriven, sharp metallic feel. (4:04)
*4. Faster static onslaught. Belligerent. Jerky groaning loop. (2:39)
5. Brief, free compressed squawk. (0:28)
6. Almost sounds like Swans; jerky 1-2 rhythm. (1:40)
7. Indecipherable shouting female(?) vocals during spitfire bashout. (2:27)
8. Short, guitar-centric. (1:01)
9. Steady drum beat but yelpy, formless guitar thresh. (3:28)
10. Linear drums, almost a groove, huge distorted wash. (2:15)
*11. Slower head nod and cymbal abuse, appliance-sounding atonal feedback. (4:18)
*12. Squawky sustained tones, enveloping static drone, drowsy slow bass loop. (5:51)
