{"product_id":"dazzling-killmen-face-of-collapse-2","title":"Dazzling Killmen- Face Of Collapse (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Most of the great progressive underground bands of the '90s would not exist if it weren't for them.\"- Ben Weinman, lead guitarist \u0026amp; primary songwriter of The Dillinger Escape Plan. Was DAZZLING KILLMEN a hardcore band? A metal band? The world's gnarliest progressive-rock quartet?\"Yes\" is the easy answer, but only because it's easy to rewind through two decades of genre fragmentation to hear Dazzling Killmen's influence on any number of \"math-metal,\" \"prog-core\" and similarly classified bands. At the time, however, this St. Louis quartet occupied a genre of one. When SKiN GRAFT released the Killmen's 1994 sophomore album, \"Face of Collapse\", that genre had it's touchstone.\"- Excerpt from Aaron Burgess' liner notes\"One of the best post-metal records ever made\". - Fact Magazine\"The band formed in the St. Louis, MO area, and forged it's singular sound with almost no music scene support for such a fringy concept - technically impeccable playing enabling whiplash stop-starts that recalled John Zorn's Naked City more readily than any rock group one could name, cathartic and discordant guitar stabs, a jaw-dropping rhythm section, arrangements of baroque complexity, and a harrowing, overbearing, inescapable sense of pure dread\". - Dangerous MindsLoud Life at Alternative Press magazine declared it the top album of the 90's based on the following criteria: 1) Avoidance of formula or cliché. 2) Dexterity of rhythm section, 3) Quality of album's production values, 4) Lack of predictable lyrical subjects - Satan, Straightedge, Viking folklore, etc. \"Sounds like Dave Bruebeck's Time Out played through Carcass' PA system.\"Remastered from the original analog tapes and packaged in a deluxe six panel Digipack with a 16 page booklet of liner notes, interviews and comics.
