Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a pivotal sonic shift for the Ohio-based outfit, 'The Impossibility of Reason' largely abandons their earlier nu-metal leanings in favor of a heavier groove metal foundation. The aggressive tracking process emphasized dual-guitar attacks and punishing percussion, solidifying their prominent status within the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.
