Recorded, mixed and produced by Fester at Haywire Studios and mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering -- both in Portland – and featuring a glut of talented guest vocalists including Krysta Martinez (Transient, Landmine Marathon), Benjamin Caragol (Burials, Hang the Old Year) and Joshua Greene (Bastard Feast, Ephemeros), Life Drawing is a sonic tidal wave of sickness, disease, and soul-consuming dread, its nine distortion-laden odes at once loud, ugly and physically and psychologically crippling.

If you take the time to listen you’ll hear it all in there somewhere; as raw, ugly, and honest as we know how to be. And fuck it all anyways. This works better than therapy.”
