Concatenation is considered by some
to be amongst the heavieast songs of
all time. And it is in fact an extremely
heavy song. Full of relentless fast,
atonal riffs expressed through a
brutal guitar tone. Rhythmically
scattered drums and wobbly ambient
leads also contribute to losing the
listener in the brutality.
