“nails that balmy, drunk anger sludge is known for.” - MetalSucks
"The band has a knack for hitting that sweet spot between sludgy dissonance and aggressive metal assault" -- Punknews.org
“This is one ugly beast of an album. Frantic riffing, throbbing bass and abused drums, this could be the epoch of their recorded output." - Stereokiller
“-16- have mastered the misery-metal distilled from a fistful of stateside influences and they spit it out of their cracked-lipped gobs with perfectly hateful aplomb” - The Sleeping Shaman
"...like a cobra venom-injected Helmet and Unsane locking horns with Buzzoven and End of Silence era Rollins band" - Metal Hammer

Southern California's veteran sludge-rock trailblazers -(16)- return with their 7th full-length album Lifespan of A Moth, the band's heaviest, darkest, and most complex material to date! Self-produced by the band and recorded with Jeff Forrest (Cattle Decapitation, The Locust) at Doubletime Recording Studio in San Diego, CA, Lifespan of A Moth sees the band sounding uglier, rawer and more visceral than ever. Down-tuned feedback-driven riffs and bludgeoning rhythms violently clash with vocalist Chris Jerue's distorted, tortured howls across eight tracks of -(16)-'s signature blend of hardcore punk, thrash and sludge. Lifespan of A Moth is the sound of a band that has spent over 25 years wallowing in addiction and anguish, and will leave you feeling crushed and confronted by the negativity of existence.
