Many times, when you see a band do such extreme versions of genre fusions you can see a real mixed bag. However, the sophomore album from the Texas band sees them branch even farther past their already unique blend of breakcore and metalcore/mathcore. On the self-titled album, you will be given blistering and ever-evolving mathcore beats and screams, but every so often you get those thick atmospheric walls, not too far off from the post-metalcore style I have grown accustomed to too. However, once you get into the later parts of the album you are given various shades of vaporwave. Whether it comes from dreampunk or from mallsoft you will be given a wide array of styles. Plus, it?s not like the band produces a two-faced album. Everything comes together so seamlessly, and the blending can be rather enchanting. Overall, it is a very unique style of metalcore and in many ways could be seen as the most extreme version of what post-metalcore could be. My biggest complaint is that the shortness of everything can leave you wanting so much more. But I will be keeping my eyes out for this band.
