A metal band? The world's gnarliest progressive-rock quartet? "Yes" is the easy answer, but only because it's easy to rewind through two decades of genre fragmentation to hear Dazzling Killmen's influence on any number of "math-metal," "prog-core" and similarly classified bands.

Shortly afterward, Tim Garrigan joined the group, and the quartet began writing and refining material for what would become the label's first, and the band's second and final full-length, "Face of Collapse".

They're not linear melodies that arrive predictably in their neat little spaces. Rather there is a center to each song and in this space the band attempts to reach it from different directions. A phrase appears for a moment then vanishes and orbits around the next phrase, hovering and waiting for its next approach. Sometimes this center is the magnet that holds the whole shebang together. At other times the center cannot hold and the space collapses. Its during these moments that Dazzling Killmen floor me." - Randall Roberts, LA Times (from the band's original presskit) Loud Life at Alternative Press magazine declared it the top album of the 90's based on the following criteria: 1) Avoidance of formula or cliché. 2) Dexterity of rhythm section, 3) Quality of album's production values, 4) Lack of predictable lyrical subjects - Satan, Straightedge, Viking folklore, etc. "Sounds like Dav
