Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between their chaotic early material and their explosive mainstream breakthrough, this project introduces a sharper focus on melodic dissonance. The dueling guitars and frantic, abstract lyricism highlight their rapid evolution away from standard emotional hardcore tropes. It operates as a thrilling preview of the kinetic, wildly successful sound they would perfect shortly after.
