"For Capsaicin the four musicians team up for a four-part meltdown that takes their mutual passion for monolithic sound blocks to new extremes. The piece starts with a lone sludge bass, and as guitar, percussion and electronics in order join the piece slowly builds to a swirling mass of frequencies that keep mutating throughout its 78 minute duration. This is not easy listening, Capsaicin does not settle into the comfort of drones - plateaus are established, explored and abandoned. The choice of title for the album is a less-than-subtle clue to the music's intent: capsaicin is the component that gives chili peppers its burning sensation." It's a haunting, oppressive, Silent Hill-esque experience.
