Album Notes & Community Reviews

Protest the Hero combines technical shredding with soaring, operatic vocals on this concept album about goddess worship and genocide. 'Fortress' is frantic, melodic, and incredibly complex, bridging the gap between math-rock and metalcore. It is a high-energy benchmark for the genre.
