Holy Fire

A massive, swampy evolution of math-rock. Jagged guitar patterns meet heavy, stadium-ready crescendos and late-night synth-pop grooves.

It's the sound of a math-rock band finally letting their hair down and playing for the back row of the stadium.

A restless, high-stakes energy that balances infectious grooves with heavy, primal catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden transition from the atmospheric hum of Prelude into the heavy, distorted riff of Inhaler.

The way Late Night builds from a lonely, clean guitar line into a screaming, bluesy solo that feels like a breakdown.

The frantic, tribal drum breakdown in Providence that forces a physical reaction.
