Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a significant maturation in production, the record integrates the crushing weight of sludge metal into the group's established screamo framework. Schaub tracked all instruments himself, focusing on an increasingly complex interplay between technical drumming and down-tuned guitar riffs. Lyrically, 'Old Patterns' addresses the difficulty of breaking destructive cycles, delivered with a sense of urgent and renewed creative momentum.
