| Additional notes |
The band played death metal-influenced music in its early days, something that can be heard on their first demo and on parts of their second full length album. Overall, the band was genre-bending through their career, where most of their songs incorporated many different influences/genres.
Their last full length album is arguably their most "stable" album which isn't as varied as their first two full lengths.
Mike Patton is involved in several other projects besides the ones on this site, most of which play noise or avant-garde music. |
