I can feel you gutting me. You still exist in my mind. I remember everything. Obsess, such an ugly word. Blindfolded, sifting through a landfill. You are pristine. Scrape my heart clean.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
