Their sound is rooted in heavy metal horror, of course, but also in the razor-sharp power metal anthemry of bands like POWERWOLF, the...

Prolonged to exposure to THOTCRIME will almost certainly make your brain hurt. A self-proclaimed "multinational cybergrind quartet", their masterplan is fairly self-explanatory. From its confounding title — which takes far too long to type, incidentally — and the gleeful quirkiness of its song title...
