The fire inside his mind was the recipient of campaigns for defeat to see it stomped out in the street
But their deeds he disavowed
He lived dissent and showed us how
The first step is belief that his life should have ended elsewhere than hunched over outside
That the struggle in which he fought was better off given his contribution
That people in cages the danger of constant surveillance don’t breed contentment and compassion
That a needle and open arms are no greater threat than legislated murder
The first step is belief
The first step is belief that the constraints we’ve taken for granted were simply imagined
That our brothers, sisters and cousins must not be fated as warehouse objects

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
Blackened hardcore with the sheer heady power of stadium crust and the glacial melodies of second-wave black metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 10, 2023
The Brazilian metal outfit teaches a lesson in exemplary thrash, delivering palm-mute chugging, dexterous fretwork, and infuriated-but-intelligible vocals on every song Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 21, 2021

The song structures say Gorguts by way of Ion Dissonance. Guitar tone says Gojira by way of The Red Chord?! Interesting stuff, a big step up from their last album. Ghuughra
