Album Notes & Community Reviews

'How We Both Wondrously Perish' introduces clean vocalist and guitarist Michael McGough to the lineup, adding soaring melodic choruses to the band's emotionally devastating post-hardcore foundation. Joel Quartuccio's impassioned, spoken-word poetry and harsh screams explore deeply spiritual and vulnerable themes, backed by lush, post-rock influenced guitar work. The record debuted significantly high on the Billboard 200, marking a commercial breakthrough for the group.
