OPENING with a breathtaking suite ripped from their critically acclaimed 2016 album Nonagon Infinity, the band sweated its way through a set of high-octane improvised psychedelic jams, microtones and thrash-metal head-bangers, making the most of every second of their two-hour set.
The Nonagon suite was followed by the debut of the as-yet unreleased Raw Feel, one of the new songs from their upcoming 26th (yes, 26th!) album.
