Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a significant milestone in the UK's contribution to the screamo and post-hardcore explosion, the album was recorded at Rak Studios with producer Colin Richardson. The arrangements prioritize dual-guitar harmonies and sophisticated rhythmic transitions that bridge the gap between traditional heavy metal and emotive punk rock. It garnered immediate critical acclaim for its technical proficiency and helped establish the Welsh scene as a hub for melodic heavy music.
