From the raw garage grunge sounds of 'Circle of Growth' in 2000 to the more Alternative melodic sounds of 'Sacred' in 2004 'Corporate Pollution' displays the bands most powerful sound to date. 11 songs were recorded and mixed in 9 days @ Data Recording Studios in County Kerry, Ireland, July/August 2010.
