about

"From the opening strains of Unveil, an ethereal/ambient/darkwave piece, to the final notes of the last track, a Dead Ends homage/tribute, complete with Al Dimalanta himself joining the fray. This is the state of Filipino metal as I'd like it to be in the pandemic age. Clever, genre-bending, twisted, socially conscious, and never static. There is an air of danger, and desperation in each and every track, which mirrors how we live today, and sadly, the many years to come. A shining masterpiece is what it is..."
