Album Notes

*SPECIAL LIMITED PRODUCTION. LESS THAN 900 REMAINING.

It's not every day that you hear violin jamming with hard rock. But today you can! Meshed with their "angular rock" are sawing, edgy violin lines that both sing and sear, interwoven with desperately passionate vocals and propelling song writing. If the bands Postman Syndrome, Mars Volta, Dredg, Floater and A Perfect Circle speed up your heart-rate even a little, this is a must have. With a smart and artistic melding of heavy-handed grind and more open, spacious atmospheres, their textural integrity along with an unusual ability to really listen to one another in their playing produces a clear and yet full-bodied, directed sound that is hard to come by these days. Dark *is* beautiful.
