After selling over 20,000 copies of their previous album, these California natives decided not to waste any time and headed back to the studio with producer Brian McTernan and recorded “Imperial”.

With McTernan in the control booth, you know things will sound stellar and he definitely succeeded in giving the band a bigger sound than before. As for the band, they write some capable metalcore song that are unfortunately cliché-riddled right down to the whiny high-pitched clean vocals, balls-in-a-vice type screams and one-note breakdowns. And they’re a bit too heavy on the use of keyboards that seem to be thrown at every song with the hope they’d stick somehow. But compared to other artists on Rise Records, this is amazing stuff!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
