Every riff, transition, and effect reflects the band’s uncompromising vision and creative exploration.
“This album is a journey, designed to be experienced in one sitting, with each track seamlessly transitioning into the next through wild time-signature shifts, key changes, and an intricate use of effects that add a whole new dimension to our sound.” – Fuzz Evil

From hypnotic breakdowns to blistering highs, “Smear Merchants” captures the full spectrum of sound, layered with effects that pull listeners deeper into the experience.
