What makes a great album is not the parts, but the stringing together of those pieces so that they form a structure that resembles some part of our reality or ideation. Kosuke Hashida strips down music to find a voice in that vein.

While there are obviously influences from death metal and grindcore here, the core remains hardcore punk, updated with the more precise rhythms of our time and a relentless, frenetic energy that lets its mild melodies and elegant phrasal riffs work together.

As a result, death metal fans can enjoy this release despite the circular basis of most songs, updated to fit the topic and riff like old thrash, but anyone can appreciate this highly personalitied hardcore that moves like fire through abandoned tenements in the LA summer.
