Vortex of Chaos is the best metal show since Sue P's "Solid Gold Hell"
Prof. Dum Dum excluded of course because that was more of a religious show...

I like the music, don’t like the vocals. Dig the guitar sound. Overly theatrical arrangement, though.

Tonight is an experiment, so rather than me telling you what is amazing, I am asking you to tell me what you honestly think of the music. Good or bad, it can only appear on a station like WFMU.

This has kind of started sounding like Converge which I like a lot

I just plugged in my experimental speaker, and now I feel I missed out on the last track as my phone audio dosent translate bass well
