Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Rareform' is a landmark in the djent and progressive metalcore movement, utilizing 8-string guitars to create heavy, syncopated grooves and neo-classical lead sections. The album is celebrated for its technical precision and the seamless integration of technical death metal with catchy, rhythmic hooks. A 2009 reissue featuring vocalist Anthony Notarmaso's re-recorded parts became the definitive version for the band's burgeoning fan base.
