Guitar Player Magazine June 1994:
“Juggling stylistic touchstones like King Crimson, Capt. Beefheart, Can, and Zappa, M-3 chip away at dense,
guttural improvs and clusters of percussive, metallic sound… One of the richest guitar albums to emerge this year.”
REVIEW
"Extremely interesting and undeservedly obscure. This sounds like the exact meeting point of The Heat's debut and
Massacre's Killing Time, erring on the latter (though the difficult aspects of the former become more pronounced
the longer the album goes on). This was a motherfucker to find, but I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised.
Roasting the Salamander, Lunge and Reel, and particularly Overboard are all exceptional. And although
the more abrasive tracks are a bit off-putting (see The Basement, parts of the tracks On The Beach,
Headstone, and Door Nail Zombie), the album never once gets dull. Well worth finding."
