Vom Label New Forces werden die sechs kratvollen Tracks auf “Melee” als “an unrelenting outburst of Midwest harsh noise” bezeichnet, “the distillation of the frustrations, ugliness, and anger forged in the post-industrial wreckage of Cleveland, Ohio”. Ferner: “Monolithic heaviness abounds, but “Melee” has plenty of dynamism to keep the energy rush in a constant state of escalation. The union of two heavyweights of contemporary harsh noise.”
