What unfolds over the course of this record is a compelling balancing act between sonic brutality and melodic triumph, a hardened shell cracked open repeatedly by moments of sweeping beauty and unforgettable hooks. What makes this record so powerful is its commitment to memorable moments. Even amidst weighted beats, harsh vocals, and jagged guitars, it’s the melodies—those carved-out, sky-reaching moments of clarity—that give the album its staying power. And they’re not just good. They’re colossal.
