Album Notes & Community Reviews

This EP finds the band further honing their abrasive sound by blending the frantic energy of screamo and emoviolence with the dark, atmospheric textures of black metal. The result is a dense and dissonant collection of tracks defined by their aggressive weight and energetic pace. The compositions are characterized by heavy, noisy passages and prominent blast beats, creating a relentlessly bleak and powerful listening experience.
