Album Description
These songs are rotten with metal, reeds, consciousness-erasing islands of black doom, bass-heavy rippers, late night free terror jams, and pure mayhem. The new double-bass attack is showcased on "Human Animal"/"Rusted Mange" with scraping strings and a full terror-shriek workout. New directions are countered by "Rationed Rot" which revisits the eerie Throbbing Gristle-esque vocal deployment that dates from Wolf Eyes' "Dread" LP. The album also features the band's first cover, the No Fucker's anthem, "Noise Not Music", which closed out a lot of shows on Wolf Eyes' recent European tour.

 Awesome album! June 15, 2008
J. Roubique
This is an incredible album (with non sub-pop releases aside) that picks up right at the end of the epic Burned Mind.
Fans of Village Oblivia and Black Vomit will only be impressed at the structured doom they unleash in Human Animal and The Driller.
The album opens with a song I remember seeing titled differently before album release called A Million Years - and optionally titled, A Million Years of Graveyards. Either way, its excellent and the entire album keeps the pace of a lion hunting a gazelle. They revisit old styles reminiscent of Dread tracks with Leper War and Rationed Rot.
This is an incredible album. Anyone who owns any Wolf Eyes should already own this, but for you new folk -start with this album and Burned Mind.
I own 26 albums and you can't go wrong with this one- EVER.

This is about the 300th album by Wolf Eyes but only one of a few not limited to 27 copies. Hopefully it's one of their break-out albums as it was truly the feel bad record of the month. All kidding aside, beautiful melodies, pop hooks and harmonies akin to the Beach Boys are nowhere to be found on this album. When played loud enough this will peel chrome off a bumper and could theoretically make heads explode like that guy in Scanners. When zombie troglodytes come down from the Dead Hills to eat the flesh of the living, this will be blasting from PA speakers once they've worn out all their Blue Sabbath Black Cheer tapes. Bleak bleak bleak...not for the unadventurous listener and definitely not your dad's psych band. That kinda makes me wonder whether or not Lester Bangs woulda liked this....I'm guessing he woulda.

Wolf Eyes are one of the most important bands around. They need to be noticed by more and more people, simply so that their re-imagining of noise and music can be heard. A magazine review claimed that WE were inventing a new musical language, and I really believe this to be the case.
Certainly it will not be to everyones tastes, but that isn't the point. Like Merzbow, Jazkamer and Kevin Drumm, this album shows the possibilities that exist outside a simply musical approach to sound, and shows that anything is possible.
This album is a huge quantum leap forward from Burned Mind, and I cannot wait to hear their next emission...

This album is awesome. One of the best noise albums that I have listened to in a while. There is such a huge range of intensity and sound in this album the tracks use silence very well as well as really loud volumes. There are some heavy free form jazz and John Zorn influences on this album. The sounds created go from a wall of electronic noise to ear shattering single tones and very strong notes that drone on. This album has some really heavy arrhythmic bass with slight dub overtones, metal noise that slashes through everything, and dense atmospherics that take you on a dark and pulsating journey.

I don't get it. I really don't. I like to think of myself as being open-minded to music in all forms -- indie punk, hardcore, underground hip-hop. But minute after minute of atmospheric noise -- this is all wrong. Just wrong.
"Human Animal" is an evil, evil record, and I need to get it out of my house before something terrible happens.
Somebody out there will like it. Anybody wanna buy my copy?
