It’s fearless, ambitious, and uncompromising, qualities that have always defined The Fierce and the Dead, but which feel more refined and confident here than ever before.

Gozu – VI

Crank this one up to 11, let the walls shake, and prepare to wonder why it took you so long to discover Gozu in the first place.

John makes no apologies for the brutal wake-up call regarding the tightrope dangers posed by corporate leaders who exploit people, turning them into little more than slaves for profit.
