Album Notes & Community Reviews

Defined by Damon Che's wildly intricate drumming and Ian Williams' heavily looped, tapping guitar lines, 'What Burns Never Returns' is a definitive milestone of instrumental math rock. The album is incredibly dense, technical, and rhythmic, pushing progressive rock concepts into aggressive underground structures.
