Whoa...it's not as if I was expecting the latest LP from the Seattle industrial/doom/noise heathens Blue Sabbath to be easy listening, their sound has always been noisy and grim and caustic, equal parts industrial creep and blackened doom abstraction, but this is noisy on a whle new scale. Definitely the noisiest fucking platter that we've ever gotten from the band, and it appears that you can blame it all on the presence of old school noisemakers Nihilist Assault Group, who have teamed up with Blue Sabbath Black Cheer for this ear-rattling collaboration. Nihilist Assault Group has members of industrial legends The New Blockaders, but their sound is way more extreme, and together with BSBC have crafted two sidelong pieces of molten nuclear noise, each side a swirling, raging malestrom of blackened distortion, waves of screaming static and oscillating test-tone frequencies, roaring low-end heaviness and corrosive electronic glitchery. We're talking about a sheer wall of textural crunch and throbbing, swirling, all-devouring black noise, more like The Rita or Vomir than the nightmarish creeping industrial sludge that I'd normally expect to hear from the Blue Sab camp. It really is that deep into HNW territory, and extreme harsh noise fans will LOVE this record. But at the same time, there's some serious layering to this sound, too, with soaring subterranean drones, crushing mangled rhythmic grind, near blacknoise-levels of aggression all swimming deep beneath these raging oceanic waves of hellish low-end drone-noise. An absolutely brutal noise album.

Limited to five hundred copies, and packaged in a fantastic looking black and white jacket with creepy artwork from Dominic Black, and includes a heavy printed insert.
