Album Notes & Community Reviews

Financed almost entirely through a highly successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, the Canadian group's fourth album pushes their technical proficiency to new heights. Following the departure of their original drummer, Lamb of God's Chris Adler stepped in as a session musician, lending a punishing precision to their melodic metalcore sound.
