Moments Worth Listening For

The sheer velocity of the opening track Politicians where the drums feel like they are physically pushing the listener back.

The transition into the mid-tempo crushing groove of Next on the List providing a brief, heavy respite from the speed.

The chaotic, feedback-laden ending of Fracture in the Equation that stretches the grindcore aesthetic into a long-form collapse.
