Frenzied, black metal with a very polished sound that infuses neo-classical guitar lines in between the constant, drill-core drumming and screeching vocals.
The season one box set with all 33 episodes and loads of cool extras. The cartoons look great, and they’re all in order so you get a sense of development.
