After his stint with seminal screamo band Orchid, Will Killingsworth helped form Ampere, which has turned out to be a pretty important screamo band in and of themselves. Their first recordings as a band are catalogued here, in their debut demo. It's screamo that definitely leans more towards hardcore punk than something with more melody in it, but some melodic moments do appear, like on "Up The Contrast" and "No Miracles Here". Mostly, though, it's just intense, hard-hitting screamo, which hits it's peak on "I Don't Need It Anyways". In retrospect, it was quite the promising debut for a band known now to be one of the best in the business.
