The album's intensity is a reflection of Wolf Eyes' live performances, known for their high-energy and unpredictable nature. The collaboration with Braxton brings a unique perspective, blending his avant-jazz sensibilities with Wolf Eyes' chaotic soundscapes.
The album was released on Les Disques VICTO, a label known for its avant-garde and experimental releases. Despite its age, "Black Vomit" remains a significant work in Wolf Eyes' discography and a testament to their enduring influence on experimental music. Whether you're a long-time fan of Wolf Eyes or a curious newcomer, "Black Vomit" offers a challenging and rewarding listening experience.
