Songs for the Firing Squad

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a comprehensive introduction prior to their proper studio debut, this compilation gathers the San Diego band's early EPs, splits, and standalone singles. The tracks violently resurrect the chaotic, dissonant aesthetics of early-2000s whitebelt mathcore and 'sasscore', driven by Connie Sgarbossa's shrieking vocals and highly erratic tempo shifts. It quickly established the group at the absolute forefront of the modern metalcore and screamo revival movements.
