Album Notes & Community Reviews
Returning with a more dissonant and expansive approach than their debut, the sophomore effort 'Light of Death' further entrenching the band in a unique intersection of metallic hardcore and traditional death metal. The compositions emphasize a dense, oppressive atmosphere and technical drumming that supports Jacob Bannon鈥檚 abrasive vocal performance. The record explores themes of decay and mortality, maintaining a relentless pace that challenges the standard structures of both the deathcore and metalcore genres.
