Ride the Skies

A high-velocity collision of hyper-active drumming and distorted bass. This record captures the manic, floor-level energy of a DIY basement riot.

It's like being trapped in a dryer with a drum kit and a bass amp, but in a fun way.

A relentless, confrontational energy that manages to feel both terrifying and joyfully absurd.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic numerical countdown in 13 Monsters that feels like a panicked nursery rhyme.
The moment the bass tone in Ride the Sky achieves a density that mimics a jet engine taking off.
The relentless, polyrhythmic drum fills on Forcefield that never seem to find a resting point.
