“a classic album cover with imagery that’s referenced + reused a lot.
also a classic metal + hxc album from Converge.
lead singer Jacob Bannon did the band’s artwork.
heavy melodic guitar riffs. dynamic drumming. vocals as more ambient sound and you pick up on words and the feeling. meditative and dips into drone.
has a nice flow to it if you find yourself in a mood for it. but you should probably already have your heart rate up.

always been amazing to see live.
lol i used to get beat the fuck up in the pit at shows. was so fun, i broke so many of my glathes 🤓
when you drive an old ass camry with popped speakers the album still sounds great if not better.
at warped tour, it was cool to see bands that combine pop + heavy breakdowns draw more inclusive crowds.
