Album Description: METRIDIUM FIELDS is an eight track release featuring "Megaptera in the Delta" and "Eating Machine"; two spacey 50 second tracks that really grease the wheel and set you up for what you're about to experience. "Eating Machine" is much more entertaining and speaks *maybe* of a megalodon. If "Eating Machine" doesn't speak of it, I'm pretty sure "Revolution in the Water" does. The album continually builds up and meets its climax with the 21 minute "Metridium Field". Mostly an instrumental, this song is impressively creative, maybe more so than the rest of the album.
