Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as one of two companion albums on the same day, 'Step Into the Light' represents the more direct and concentrated side of the band's heavy-hitting sound. The record maintains the group's signature downtuned sludge influence while incorporating elements of grindcore for a faster, more visceral experience. Produced by Randy Leboeuf, the project focuses on rhythmic oppression and the nihilistic lyrical delivery of long-time frontman Vincent Bennett.
