Filthy and sludgy math-core rhythms will seep into your brain.
Simone
This tune is so over-the-top it's great. Love the additional vocals from Mollie Piatetsky.
Bourn
This track is a marriage of Red Sea era ISIS meet old Norma Jean, classic stuff.
Brew Pairing
Hovered Ridge by Ten Bends Brewing in Vermont. This smooth tasteing 8.7% IPA has some kick with aromas of floral or tropical fruits. It's a bit citrusy, but not overwhelming. A great pairing with Wanderer.
