The band's debut album Warning Blast, released in 2018 on Metal Blade Records, delivered twenty tracks of raw, uncompromising death-thrash with doom and punk underpinnings. Their follow-up This Is Tomorrow (2023) continued the band's relentless approach, drawing on the collective pedigree of its members to produce some of the most authoritative extreme metal of the era.
