Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as the vital transitional bridge between their hardcore punk roots and their massive gothic-rock breakthrough, this album is a masterclass in aggressive melody. Davey Havok's soaring, dramatic vocal melodies shine through the breakneck drumming and dark, horror-inspired punk riffing, defining the era's underground aesthetic.
