Album Notes & Community Reviews

The critically acclaimed alternative rock quintet delivers an incredibly intense, emotionally raw fifth studio album largely focused on frontman Anthony Green's struggles with addiction and recovery. 'Descensus' brilliantly pairs remarkably dense, highly complex post-hardcore guitar riffing with Green's astonishingly powerful, wildly passionate high-register vocal performances. The record serves as a profoundly introspective, fiercely energetic, and beautifully melodic progressive rock triumph.
