Get blasted by this California hardcore band’s 20-minute masterpiece of powerviolence.

After preparing you with nine abbreviated attacks, the eight-minute “They Come Crawling Back” recruits you for a truly apocalyptic epic.

You Will Never Be One of Us is brief, brutal and devastatingly effective. It’s everything an extreme music fan could want.
