This 1996 album offers a more focused, albeit still abrasive, exploration of Merzbow's signature harsh noise sound, diverging from the more abstract or power electronics-focused material of some earlier works.

Merzbow is the noise music project of Japanese artist Masami Akita, active since 1979 and known for a prolific output of harsh, feedback-drenched recordings. By 1996, Merzbow had already released dozens of albums, establishing a formidable presence in the international industrial and noise scenes.
