Modern Grotesque
by Dreamwell
Operating as a deeply conceptual, highly theatrical piece of modern screamo, the Rhode Island quintet explores profound religious trauma and philosophical despair. The album fluidly shifts from absolutely punishing, chaotic hardcore passages to beautiful, sprawling post-rock crescendos, anchored by incredibly desperate, impassioned vocal performances. The independent release rapidly became a beloved cult favorite in the burgeoning heavy post-hardcore revival.
