This band's entire career can be summarized in "Derivative, but surprisingly good." This
sounds a bit like every other metalcore band you may have listened to in the past few years
(fit for a king, erra, and bad omens to be specific) and IMO it does a better job than that
last ffak album which it partially visually resembles. It hits upon why this industrial-ish
style is so commonplace. It's very well polished and the riffs are bouncy, with lyrics being
completely optional to actually pay attention to, at the very least they're never outright
cringe-worthy. All songs can reliably be added to a gym playlist or placed alongside
aforementioned bands without a hitch. If you're a fan of tasteful technicality, bass-heavy
djent-esque guitar riffs included, clean hooks, harsh vocals, this is pretty good. There are
10 3½ minute long songs and then it ends having nicely flowed and never dipping below a
headbangable level aside from 1 outlier track called "Trapped" which is a well executed take
on trap-metal, as implied by the title.
