Degradation Trip

Dense, sludgy riffs and haunting vocal harmonies recorded in self-imposed isolation. A visceral, seventy-minute descent into addiction, grief, and survival.

It's like Alice in Chains but even heavier and way more personal.

A relentless, claustrophobic descent into personal darkness balanced by hauntingly beautiful melodic layers.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the jarring transition from the acoustic fragility of Solitude into the sludge-heavy riff of Mother's Spinning in Her Grave

the way the vocal harmonies on Anger Rising create a ghostly, double-tracked sense of unease

the final, exhausted fade-out of Gone that feels like a door closing on a long period of grief
