In Excelsis

Killing Joke

Tribal rhythms and shimmering metallic guitars collide on this EP. A heavy, ritualistic bridge between industrial aggression and spectral post-punk dub.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a ritualistic industrial dance party at the end of the world.

A heavy, ritualistic intensity that balances apocalyptic dread with a sense of defiant transcendence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, soaring chorus of the title track where the guitars bloom into a wall of metallic light.
The hypnotic, skeletal bassline of Ghost of Ladbroke Grove that anchors the track's spectral atmosphere.
The sudden shift into a cavernous dub space during the final track's deconstruction.
