"Short but deceptively sweet, the debut from this Oakland five piece seems intent on bludgeoning you to death with their intricately intense vision of metal, whether you like it or not. These are songs that have succumbed to a gainfully wretched purpose and ambition, a real surge of harbored melancholy that is reflected flawlessly in both the distraught lyricism and the stamina-challenging musicianship. While characteristically raw, the vocals here are notably brilliant at leading the charge, seemingly taunting the rest of the group to play harder and faster. They oblige, displaying only enough restraint to make sure their parts connect and then explode again, bridging the gap just long enough to demolish it at the next turn. I'm hesitant to say it, but parts of this (some of the best parts) flirt with math-rock tendencies, embracing complex jabs and hits that allow each member enough leeway to tinker and really add their fingerprint to the proceedings. It's this attention to detail that not only makes this such an effective record, but also makes it stand out as smart, fierce, and wonderfully hard to classify."
