Recorded at Electrical Audio and Soma Studios in Chicago with engineer/co-producer Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium, Yob, Samothrace), the six-track From All Purity is a taunting exercise in auditory hate and despair; a physically and psychologically jarring collision of tar-black doom, sprawling waves of noise and scathing outbursts of pain. Said Heavy Planet in an early review of the record, “This is a band wringing their dirty hands and tossing bricks, but they're hardly aimless. These six tracks hit the spite-nail straight on the head, driven directly into your senses. I didn't think anyone could improve upon [2011’s] Guiltless. Somehow, these dudes have even less remorse than they did years three years ago.” From All Purity is the true antithesis of easy listening.
Invisible Oranges fittingly crowns the tune, “a militaristic, doom-impending march,” furthering that “walls of thick noise-haze create a bleak, hopeless atmosphere overlaid with harsh distorted screams.” Happy 2014. Additionally, you can still check out “Rhetoric Of No” here.
