Album Notes & Community Reviews
Solidifying their transition away from chaotic hardcore, the Washington D.C. band heavily embraces the technicality and soaring twin-guitar harmonies of Swedish melodic death metal. Recorded in Gothenburg with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordstr枚m, the album perfectly bridges classic European extreme metal with ferocious American metalcore intensity. It is widely considered a defining masterpiece of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.
