This is music that moves at a breakneck pace, characterized by a relentless snare attack and vocals that sound like a desperate plea for air. It is the sound of high-tension wires snapping under pressure. The production is dense and metallic, favoring a sharp, abrasive edge that cuts through the mix without losing the low-end weight necessary for its crushing breakdowns.
What sets this apart is the sheer economy of the songwriting. Tracks rarely overstay their welcome, often clocking in under ninety seconds, yet they pack in complex rhythmic shifts and thematic depth. The project is deeply rooted in personal and systemic reality, using the sonic violence of the genre to process the complexities of the American carceral system and family trauma.
Start with Crime and Punishment. It is a masterclass in modern powerviolence that balances sheer speed with massive, sludge-influenced grooves. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants their music to feel like a controlled explosion.
