Debut album "1" was originally released in Europe on the Rise Above label and the infamous Man's Ruin in the US. It quickly established the band as a force to be reckoned with. Ultra heavy doom riffage collided with mammoth rock anthems. Shortly after, "The Dog Days EP" was released on guitarist Greg Anderson's Southern Lord label. This compilation includes all the tracks from both releases, including their cover of Black Sabbath's "Who Are You" which was previously only on the vinyl release of "Dog Days". It also includes two tracks previously available only on limited vinyl 7" releases.
