(2012) Prior to this album, I had previously worked with SixBrewBantha for mixing the material that they had self-recorded on a 4 track for their split. I thought they were a great band with something special. Myself being a person who has had a harder time getting into great bands that have less than optimal recordings, I remember pestering Mark, Bryan and Tyler to let me record them properly, whilst keeping in mind their love for all things noisy and raw (re: the Perpetual Debt intro). Luckily, they agreed.
We set up a mobile recording rig in their jam space. A concrete basement with a short ceiling. I vaguely remember the drums being a Yamaha stage custom kit with the snare wires turned off, and Mark using a DOD Fat Pig distortion pedal. The recording must have happened over a weekend. I later brought the tracks home and mixed them. The songs were mastered by Dan Randall, I believe.
I feel like this album went on to propel this band into some well-deserved recognition. A very interesting and unique take on the grindcore genre.
