Dead Silence

Surgical guitar riffs and high-tension vocals meet expansive, dark production. A more ambitious, atmospheric evolution of their signature Canadian punk sound.

It's the sharpest, most cinematic version of their punk sound, perfect for when you're fed up with everything.

Relentless, confrontational energy tempered by a dark, atmospheric sense of societal dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the haunting acoustic intro of track 1 into the explosive, galloping riff of Viking Death March.

The eerie, atmospheric bridge of Swallowed Up by the Ocean where the band builds a wall of sound that feels genuinely oceanic.

The surgical precision of the interlocking vocal harmonies during the chorus of Surprise Surprise.
