(TLASILA spent a year attempting to complete this album, which reportedly comprised layer upon layer of black metal and grindcore cut-ups and equally distressed vocals; they abandoned the work when the then-unfinished Wigmaker was put into post-production by Menlo Park Recordings. Above, the first Internet ad for the album, ca. 1997.)
