“Now the group has returned with their second full length Heavy Mental Fuck-Up!, which changes up the production values slightly but still offers up more of the punchy riffing and precision that made their previous material so appealing.”
– Metal Trenches
“It all sounds like the best squat party you could ever go to or the sound track to those old skate vids Thrasher put out in the late 80’s.”
– Ave Noctum, Matt Mason (8.5/10)
“Pour les inconditionnels du Metal progressif, euh, comment dire… ? Va falloir aller écouter autre chose…”
– Soil Chronicles, Willhelm von Graffenberg (7/10)
“It’s the kind of album that will make you want to wear leather and spikes, to fashion your hair into a mohawk, and to tell your boss exactly what you think of them. It’s the spirit of protest and rebellion in musical form.”
– The Sound Not The Word
“A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast crossover direction while the vocals are done mostly in a shouting style while the music also mixes thrash, d beat and crust punk together along with a great amount of 80’s influences but also sounding modern at the same time.”
– DoomToGrindZine, OccultBlackMetal (8/10)

As we have been looking forward to this day. The official date of the release of our new album “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up!”. But things rarely goes as planned. If you build expectations, you will usually be disappointed.
Here we are, two rejected test presses later and no physical copy within distance. We’re working on it and we’ll keep you all posted as soon as we know more about anything. Everyone who pre-ordered a copy through us will definitely keep their reservations. No worries.
European press on The Sign Records and the US press on Konton Crasher. For further info, search and destroy.
Crank it on Spotify while you wait for the CD and vinyl release.
Third and last digital single from “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up!” is now unleashed on Spotify. A shortened and alternative version than the one that completes the entire album.
According to plans, the album will be released September 28th, but we have still not approved any test press yet.
“Blasting chords and punk esque growls hollering almost at all times. There are no dynamics, heck I don’t even think the album is in stereo! The whole point is just to be loud, noisy and difficult to listen to.”
– Overdrive Music Magazine
It’s very annoying and frustrating to see all wrong information and mixed-up covers (mock-up version with white logo for example) circulating. Due to this reason we thought it could be a good idea to give you all the correct info once and for all. Below you’ll find tracklist, credits and all (un)necessary information regarding “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up!” and “Jikangire”. Just to avoid further, and possible, misunderstandings and errors. Hopefully this will help and make it easier for everyone to know all the different versions.

First two reviews on “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up!” online.
“…the actual vibe of “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up” is hardcore. An angry voice, the aforementioned chordal guitar riffing, extreme-velocity
drumming, straight ahead bass playing. The right recipe for a great hardcore band.”
– Metal Addicts
Puntuación: 7,75/10
– Metal Brothers
