Album Notes & Community Reviews

The duo featuring Tom Barber and Josh Miller pushes deathcore into hyper-modern, maximalist territory with 'Oni.' The album utilizes futuristic synthesizer layers and chaotic electronic noise to augment its heavy djent grooves. It is characterized by an erratic, unpredictable energy that blends nu-metal sensibilities with high-technicality percussion, making it one of the most sonically adventurous releases in the mid-2020s metal scene.
