A high-velocity collision of operatic melody, Armenian folk, and political fury. Manic, eccentric, and rhythmically complex metal that defined an era.
Critical and commercial peak
A dizzying, hyper-kinetic masterpiece of alternative metal, this second album refines raw aggression into a weapon of high-art precision. The band trades the basement-show chaos of their debut for a massive, multi-layered sonic architecture where lush vocal harmonies and intricate Greek and Armenian folk scales seamlessly collide with thrash-metal tempos. It is an anxious, defiant document of its exact cultural moment, balancing absurdist humor with fierce, articulate indictments of mass incarceration and state control.
The vocals lean notably further into harmonies than the rest of the catalogue.
