Over the course of their career, the trio, comprising of multi instrumentalists Robert Mayson, Bonnie Mercer and Robert MacManus, have been furiously melding low-end drones, free form rhythms, and sludgy psych riffs through complete improvisation. With a hardcore D.I.Y. work ethic, their years of self promoting, touring and releasing of records has gained them global respect from an ever increasing fan base, and has seen them share the same bill with the likes of ISIS, Sunn O)),OM, Circle, Comets on Fire, Neurosis, Residual Echoes and many more leading bands in the psych noise scene. Apart from their greatly received debut album and numerous CDR's the band have also released highly acclaimed split albums with fellow noise pioneers Wolf Eyes and Yellow Swans, and have future releases lined up with French doom band Monarch and fellow rocketeers, Mammatus.
