The short-length…

Instead of…

Spearheaded by vocalist Ragulan Vivekananthan, the band have churned out a steady stream of EPs, four full-length records, and last year’s live outing Chaos Unleashed without ever chasing fleeting trends or pretending to reinvent the wheel. Now, they’ve joined forces…
