This is dedicated to the Bowling Green music scene, our fans, friends, and families. A special dedication to Cory Smith, a huge fan and best friend that we lost along the way. And most importantly to the Pryor family: Johnetta, Cecil, Joey, Stephanie, Lincoln, the extended family, and any other future Pryors that may come along. You will always be our second family and we love you.

US Black Metal. Some fantastic ideas here for this debut! Having said that, unfortunately the vocals do not come out loud & clear which is a shame. But the music is great & multilayered & requires a few listens to fully absorb. Oh and the riffs are out of this world! Love the cover too :) Recommended! bmurator
