Witness

by Modern Life Is War

Witness cover art

Recorded at GodCity Studio with Kurt Ballou, the Iowa quintet delivers a definitive, emotionally raw masterpiece of modern hardcore. Jeffrey Eaton's desperate, highly poetic lyrics concerning small-town suffocation and youth disillusionment are driven by incredibly urgent, sweeping guitar progressions that heavily influenced the subsequent wave of melodic hardcore.
