Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in early 2003, 'Somnambulists' represents a critical juncture for the Boston-based group, moving away from frantic emoviolence towards a denser, more punishing sound. The album integrates complex post-hardcore structures with the crushing weight of metalcore and atmospheric sludge elements. It stands as a notable contribution to the New England heavy music landscape of the early 2000s, expanding their sonic palette with darker, more abrasive tones.
