Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing their debut full-length on Will Swan's newly formed label, the California post-hardcore outfit perfects their frenetic, highly technical sound. Frontman Donovan Melero handles complex drum patterns while simultaneously delivering soaring, emotionally volatile vocal performances. The intricate, math-rock-influenced guitar work firmly established them as flag-bearers of the rising 'swancore' movement.
