The split is a cohesive whole, sort of different respective takes on darkness and futility.
There is a malicious streak that shows forth here in ominous riffs, there in embedded grind, and yet again in ambient samples, which all serve to drag the listener by their exposed entrails into the abyss that is this album.
According to their press release, the album took four times as long
