| While there was nothing wrong with Colliding By Design, this is a major step up from that release and looking forward for the second half in October. |

| First album of theirs I will spin more than twice and forget about. This is very solid front to back. |

| Hail the Sun Mental Knife |
Definitely a step above Culture Scars, but not quite the epic that was Wake.
Also, Donovan sounds closer than ever to Anthony Green. Not saying that in a bad way, but there’s some On
Letting Go vibes within a few tracks from his delivery. |

| A damn near 180 from "Much Love" in almost every way. Very dense and heavy album that will take multiple listens. In many ways it reminds me of Brand News' "Daisy" in terms of the direction they took. |

| If Deftones, new era Underoath, and a splash of Static-X came together, it would be this album. But somehow it works rather well for them. |
| Oh, Sleeper Bloodied/Unbowed |
| While it doesn?t live up to their magnum opus ?Children Of Fire?, this was still a lot better than I anticipated. Glad to see their back in full swing. |

| Cory Brandan is like a fine wine in the metalcore scene, his outputs get keep getting better. Most of this could easily fall on a NJ album. |
| Palm Reader Braille |
| Poison the Well Peace In Place |
Oh, we’re so back. This is firing on all cylinders. Early impressions but feels like a direct continuance of “You Come Before
You.” |
| Silent Planet Superbloom |
| Unsure who does electro-industrial-metalcore better, Silent Planet or Northlane |

| Step above False Idol, consistently heavy and chunky the way I like em. Pumped 15000 reps at the gym with this on. |
| Vexes Ancient Geometry |
| Very solid output for a debut. Leans a little too close to being a Deftones album at times, but not a bad band to rip off. |
