Album Notes & Community Reviews

A landmark release for Metal Blade Records that fundamentally defined the sound of 2000s American metalcore. The album is incredibly aggressive, flawlessly marrying the technical, dual-guitar melodies of Swedish death metal with crushing, heavy hardcore breakdowns and Tim Lambesis's impassioned, Christian-leaning lyrical themes.
