Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating to the United States and signing with Equal Vision Records, the Australian post-hardcore act delivered a wildly energetic and technically dazzling debut full-length. The album pairs incredibly intricate, progressive guitar tapping with soaring, theatrical pop melodies. It became a highly influential release in the development of the modern 'Swancore' subgenre.
