The band's fifth full-length album Shrines of Paralysis was released on October 28, 2016 on Relapse Records. The band have been featured in numerous articles as one of New Zealand's most prominent extreme metal acts, have toured widely across North America and Europe, and have been compared favourably to bands such as Neurosis and Gorguts.
