Face Of Collapse

Was DAZZLING KILLMEN a hardcore band? A metal band? The world's gnarliest progressive-rock quartet? "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." - Excerpt from Aaron Burgess' liner notes

Dazzling Killmen have reformed and this is the album that defined a genre. Select US dates are scheduled for 2026-2027 and the band will be touring Europe this October. "Face of Collapse" was engineered by Steve Albini, mastered from the original analog tapes and this pressing will come packaged with a ”Footlong OBI”, liner notes and an illustrated inner sleeve.
