“Mojave desert funeral sludge. If you know the place then you know why this music was birthed there.”

This album should be listened to at a very high volume to get the most out of it. (but don’t damage your hearing!)

Big tortoises are thick, heavy, slow moving…it’s a good metaphor for this music. And I suppose an analogy for some aspect of everyday life could be drawn from the song titles.

All songs composed by Maliciouz.
Recording, mixing & mastering by Maliciouz.
Guitars, bass & drums by Michael “Maliciouz” Muckow.
