The Heavens May Cease to Be

by Alex Cunningham

supported by

Dawid Scumwalski Man, this is yet another album that is so good it's beyond me. This one is quite pure, metal junk-based noise, but holy shit, the layering, the pure energy and the production quality make this one stand out from the rest. This one gets AAA+ harshnoise.org recommended!
