Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely by a three-piece lineup, this incredibly raw debut album captures the furious origins of the influential San Diego metalcore act. The brief, high-energy recording focuses heavily on aggressive, chugging breakdowns, furious blast beats, and throat-shredding vocal deliveries, devoid of their later melodic hooks.

Genres

Descriptors: harsh-vocals, repetitive, unpolished, melodic, breakdowns, ferocious, DIY
