CONFORMING TO ABNORMALITY

XENOSAPIEN


Xenosapien's mind-bending, technical insanity/mastery collides head on with the band's brutal metal roots to form their most immediate, hard-hitting, and finest album to date.

MISLEAD BY CERTAINTY


The long-awaited follow-up to their critically-acclaimed ‘Xenosapien’. ‘Misled by Certainty’ heaps spasms of unpredictability onto our signature grinding death metal madness. The 50+ minute journey into metals most extreme realms see these veterans takes it to edge before pulling it back with 'Repangea,' perhaps our most sprawling and epic work to date.
