Anghellic

Anghellic, released in 2001, is Tech N9ne's national debut album as well as his first and only release for JCOR and Universal Records, as well as his only release on a major label. Mishandling of the album's production and promotion led to a very bitter split with JCOR and the foundation of Strange Music by Tech N9ne and Travis O'Guin. Despite this, it remains one of his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, selling at least 278,000 copies since its release.
==Reception==
Travis O'Guin considers it among the best records Strange Music has ever released. In 2009, Fangoria named it as an iconic horrorcore album. Allmusic rated it a 3/5 stars.
