Three songs of expertly performed progressive metal from Denver in the vein of Boris or Mastodon but with one glaring omission: vocals! Yes all three tunes are devoid of a singer, and guess what? They still fucking rip! Top notch music, although I could do without the silly song titles (“War and Ghee,” “Girth Crisis”) and the chiptune at the beginning of the record which almost had me tossing this out to the mighty bosom of the Pacific Ocean. Minor complaints aside, this album delivers if you’re a fan of heavy music from the past twenty years. –Juan Espinosa (Snappy Little Numbers, nativedaughters.bandcamp.com)
