It was a three-song EP with some early punk/metal tracks that don't make the live set list much anymore, though they were a good example of their influence by bands such as Bad Brains. Vocalist Neil Fallon stated, after hearing Bad Brains on their debut self-titled album, Bad Brains:^[3]

"..Upon listening though [to the album], I was totally confused. I had nothing to compare it to. It was freakish. But after repeated listens, there was that eureka moment, and ever since then they have been on the loftiest of rock pedestals"^[4]

The EP has, in recent years, become much more of a staple in the band's live sets. The title track, as well as Impetus, are played almost regularly.

The second EP from Clutch was also to become a rare find. It was released on CD and 12" vinyl, but according to Earache Records the 12" is no longer available. It was also the second album produced/engineered with Lawrence "Uncle Punchy" Packer at his studios in their home state of Maryland.
