 A ravenous black bird pecking away at a pair of decaying heads: a cover that perfectly expresses the essence of this music, which will drill into your brain until the death of your cerebral faculties.

 A putrid cloaca inhabited by an extraterrestrial ant's nest is the best definition I've found to describe the initial moments, where in the first track of over 11 minutes lies a noisy hatred, ready to explode, it feels like being at the bedside of a giant sleeping monster that, at the moment of awakening, transforms into sonic violence.
