the group was established in august 2005 in order to terrorize the world with nuclear holocaust music made of pure sweat, blood and terror. rooted in the same sorts of intensity and power as the prime works of albert ayler, cecil taylor, peter brotzmann this band will soon rise to the top of the heap as masters of go-for-broke power improvisation. loud . fast . destructive . . .
