Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formally abandoning their previous hardcore punk styling and their original moniker, This Routine is Hell, the Dutch quartet pivoted entirely toward 1990s alternative aesthetics. 'The Long Dark Blue' heavily channels grunge-era angst, combining deeply melancholic, hook-driven songwriting with fiercely aggressive, distorted guitar tones.
