And what better a release to formally announce the relocation of the Static Shock Head Honcho, than the excavation of the city's most overdue LP? From the opening notes of "Your Head In My Arms," SIYAHKAL unleashes absolute, stomping psychedelic hardcore perversion. Self-recorded, the thing sounds like a demon unleashed.
