Pretty meh, but perhaps fun for the right person.rFocusing on the Christian aspect, the lyrics are pretty cringe if you don't align with the band's views. However, they also have a sort of charm in the way they display such solidarity and indignance.rCertain refrains caught my attention such as "for freedom we conquer" - similar to the thought-provoking concept of Primordial's Where Greater Men Have Fallen (no musical relation), it alludes to the concept of protecting from the void that can be untethered freedom - lyrics that inspire thinking are gain points in my book. rWith that being said, there's a pretty laugh out loud moment where the vocalist screams "I am a Christian" preceeding a breakdown.rAfter being too deprived of willpower to find something more developed to listen to, I spun their back catalog at work and can confirm this album stands out as their strongest.rMusically, the intro track has some good impact. Paved with Bones and Devil's Den have some catchy parts. Otherwise, the album is some heavy noise. But wait, the riff on Everything Fake just pulled me from the album's malaise. rAlthough I hold a soft spot for ID, I can't recommend this unless you're a Christian without diverse taste, are somehow starved for deathcore, or enjoy musing over lyrics like me.
