| Frontierer Orange Mathematics |
| Danza, Car Bomb, Meshuggah, and Dillinger all hatefucked each other and then had a baby they injected with steroids. That baby is Frontierer and this album is absolutely insane. The only thing keeping it from a 5 is its length as 50 minutes of non-stop pummelling can get tiresome. |
| Frontierer Unloved |
| Bleaker atmosphere, more experimentation with electronic music, and even the most melodic song they've made thus far adds up to being a completely different beast from Orange Mathematics while still being just as pummelling, if not more so. At 56 minutes, tho? This was one hell of an endurance test. |
