Brilliantly titled ‘PEN I S MALL’ (make of it whatever you wish), it is a track pulled straight from the swamp. A contorting, blisterted, belligerant piece of industrially reinforced hardcore that feels like the Earth being scorched right before your eyes. A near six-minute ordeal of downtrodden chords, calloused howls and chaotic intent, it is a terrifyingly brutal listen that perfectly embodies the despair and dark decadence that sits at the heart of the band. -Rock Sound
