Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathers the complete recorded discography of the Massachusetts quintet who effectively defined the chaotic, emotionally devastating sound of late-1990s emoviolence. Compiling their full-lengths, EPs, and split releases, the collection highlights their ferociously aggressive, screamo-pioneering intensity paired with French philosophical lyricism. It remains an absolute holy grail for the underground hardcore and screamo scenes.
