Band History:
my music comes from the gut, emotion... I believe in honesty, my words are obscure for a reason, my reason is yet to be clear. I like to experiment with sound, noise, tone, I believe music should be as challenging and brutal as it needs to be, this is not a hobby for me, it is what I do.
