August 1, 2008

Traditional rock instruments plus “Japanese” and “metal” percussion. Pretty great big rumble-grunt vs. doom-grind. That you can’t understand a word helps too.

December 27, 2004

This five-piece out of Kentucky are solid musicians playing well-written, honest songs about disillusionment, despair, and outsider pride. Heavy stuff!
