For:Fans of doom and stoner metal, listeners who like Black Sabbath-influenced heavy music and macabre/true-crime lyrical themes.

 “Thy Kingdom Scum” is the musical embodiment of the most annoying and full-of-himself bully who would steal your lunch at school and humiliate you to tears during recess.

 Master of Brutality is their third work: six very respectable pieces with a dark sound and tracks dedicated to famous serial killers, true to their style.
