Notable Quotes

❝ However, let’s be clear; there’s no dull moment, the tracks flow one after another, and in the end, you’re left wanting more.

❝ Produced by none other than Mr. Kurt Ballou in the renowned Godcity Studios, "Solve et Coagula" is a devastating mix of Black Metal, Hardcore, and Grind/Noise, which continues the artistic path of the band already undertaken with the predecessor "Disintoxication," further developing the Black vein of their sound as sealed by the enigmatic (but personally beautiful) title, not to mention the Luciferian goat on the cover.
