Released January 25th on At A Loss Recordings, the dense web formed by the seven tracks on Feral Songs For The Epic Decline has entangled many in its grasp, the album both meditative and malicious, as diverse and forward thinking as it is point-blank and unnerving.

'One Who Stands On The Earth'

'The Epic Decline'

'Year Without Summer'

'The Book Of The Law'

'Disgruntled Employer'

'Deconstructing Self Destruction'

'2 Then The 3'
