The Ascent

Aggressive post-hardcore defined by the friction between punishing breakdowns and radio-ready pop hooks. A polished, high-energy debut from the Warped Tour era.

January 17, 2012 · Rise Records (3)

A high-octane blend of youthful frustration and soaring melodic optimism.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition from the guttural screams of the verse into the soaring, sugary falsetto hook on Somewhere in Hiding.

The rhythmic breakdown in The Oath where the guitars lock into a mechanical, percussive stutter.

The final build-up of the title track where the production reaches a maximalist peak of layered vocals and crashing cymbals.
