When the going gets tough, the tough listen to this album and then proceed to dominate! Gritty and insatiable electric guitars, vehement bass lines, ravenous drums, and cleverly flattering synths relentlessly bombard the senses with a comprehensive assault on serenity. This maniacal medley of distorted chaos boasts an abundance of incessant vitality with no regard for tranquility.
