Dysfunction

Heavy, down-tuned riffs meet raw emotional transparency. A landmark of late-90s metal that balances aggressive outbursts with a haunting, melodic vulnerability.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'sitting in your room with the lights off' heavy record from the turn of the millennium.

A heavy, claustrophobic exploration of personal trauma that finds relief in explosive, distorted crescendos.

Spleen / Excess Baggage
21:02
Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic sliding bass riff that opens Mudshovel, establishing a hypnotic and heavy groove.
The transition from the abrasive chaos of Spleen into the hidden, fragile acoustic ballad Excess Baggage.
The desperate, soaring vocal delivery during the bridge of Home that captures a sense of total isolation.
