A metal band? The worlds gnarliest progressive-rock quartet?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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 its touchstone.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Excerpt from Aaron Burgess' liner notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"One of the best post-metal records ever made\". - Fact Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The band formed in the St. Louis, MO area, and forged its singular sound with almost no music scene support for such a fringy concept - technically impeccable playing enabling whiplash stop-starts that recalled John Zorns 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 Minds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoud Life at Alternative Press magazine declared it the top album of the 90's based on the following criteria: 1) Avoidance of formula or clichÈ. 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemastered from the original analog tapes and packaged in a deluxe six panel Digipack with a 16 page booklet of liner notes, interviews and comics.
