Leitmotif

Self-released before their eventual major-label signing, this highly ambitious debut concept album intertwines heavy, syncopated rhythms with soaring, cinematic interludes. The integration of global instrumentation and aggressive post-hardcore dynamics established the California quartet's signature, genre-blurring approach to progressive alternative rock.
