Piero Scaruffi [2]

Patrick Kennedy from Allmusic called it a brilliant and daring debut that "assaults the senses like the Swans or Foetus before them, but tempers that art-scum priggishness with clear roots in punk and classic rock."[1] Piero Scaruffi gave the album 8 out of 10, and described the record as "cascades of atrocious sounds destabilized its songs and generated a form of hysterical tribalism."[2] He placed it at number 24 on his "Best Punk-Rock Albums of All Times" list[3] and selected it as the sixth best album of 1991.[4]

Tour

During the tour supporting the album, Charlie Ondras died of a heroin overdose during the 1992 New Music Seminar in New York.[5]

Covers

Death metal band Entombed covered "Vandal-X" on their self-titled compilation album in 1997.
