On their debut LP 'It Didn't Have to Be This Way', the Florida group blends the cathartic volatility of screamo with the crushing weight of metallic hardcore. The album is built on a foundation of knotty, dissonant guitar riffs and frenetic drumming, creating intricate songs that shift between melody and chaotic noise. A polished yet aggressive production captures the harrowing vocal delivery and palpable rage, balancing raw, visceral emotion with instrumental clarity and precision.
