“Finnish industrial experimentalist Charming Timur, whose newest offering ranges from massive sonic assaults, to intricate noise constructions, to eerie crossover metal soundscapes, will keep you busy for long hours.” -Idioteq
Charming Timur comments on the new album: “I had so many songs I wanted to put on this album, it became just too crazy. I had to cut down about a half to keep the album at least somewhat consistent. I reached out to fans and asked what songs they like the most, and made decisions based on their opinions as well as my own. This is by far the biggest and most expensive release Ive done so far and I felt like I really needed to do this to keep my head functioning. As if I was obsessed with creating this release and failure was not an option.”
