Megalithic Symphony

AWOLNATION

A maximalist collision of gritty electronic textures and soaring alternative rock. Defined by massive synth-bass drops and explosive, restless vocal energy.

Find on Amazon

It's the album with 'Sail' on it, but the rest is a wild, synth-heavy rock rollercoaster.

A high-energy blend of existential anxiety and triumphant, stadium-sized catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The tectonic shift of the distorted bass entry on 'Sail' that redefined 2010s radio.
The sudden transition from the frantic punk energy of 'Burn It Down' into the glitchy title interlude.
The sprawling fifteen-minute odyssey of 'Knights of Shame' shifting from rap-rock to disco-inflected pop.
