Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded following the band's relocation to Hannover, Germany, 'Lost Songs' serves as a fierce, politically charged revitalization of the group's chaotic energy. Overtly critical of apathy and the Syrian civil war, the lyrical themes are matched by sprawling, aggressive guitar work and relentless drumming. The project effectively distances itself from the symphonic excesses of their preceding albums in favor of raw, post-hardcore immediacy.
