The self-produced 'Dark Arms Reach Skyward With Bone White Fingers II: Be (Not) Afraid' presents a sprawling and narrative-driven fusion of progressive deathcore, experimental metal, and brutal technicality. Deeply personal and thematically influenced by the anime *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, the songwriting blends complex progressions with blunt emotion across its two distinct acts. While primarily the work of creator April Hutchins, the album expands the project's scope with contributions from a full-time drummer and guitarist, resulting in a more varied and naturalistic sound.
