A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
