Remember when i was like "if you like Hopesfall/Thrice you're going to like this band" ? Actually that was a gross understatement, the song Wraiths in Flight came on and i had to open my itunes to be sure i wasn't listening to some A Types B-side. This record is fucking dark. Half the tracks are like heavy shadows, dense with guitar presence and high impact cymbals hits only to clear up to reveal melancholy vocalizations. Don't ever let anyone tell you Virginia boys can't bring it, pretty sure this record just curb stomped my fucking headphones into dust. Still think Live Free or Dont EP is my fav. by this band so far but this is pretty epic too.

sounds like: Hopesfall, Thrice

bump.
