A jagged, discordant masterpiece that feels like scraping your knees on pavement. It's beautiful, it's painful, it's essential.

Gets lost in its own noise. While the atmosphere is thick, the songwriting feels thin and repetitive.

ALBUM OF THE MONTH

"SCREAMING INTO THE VOID" by NULL_SET.

It redefines what it means to be loud. A sonic assault that you can't ignore.
