Their sound is described as being "undeniably heavy, unexpectedly melodic, and inconceivably new." Perhaps what makes them so compelling and dynamic is their unique harmonic trio as Shawn, Greg, and Nik blend raw screams, shadowed melodies, and intense synchronization to form one wicked force. The thunderous double guitars create a dense atmosphere for experimentation with catchy melodies, strong rhythms and interesting riffs. F'in Eh! You have to see them live to believe it! Until then, check out their single "Together" from their upcoming five song EP.

Shawn: "Fall away" is about my family and the hard time I had when I was younger, going through my parents divorce. It also portrays to keep hope and keep your head up.
"Inside" is a personal song that looks deep inside and into how I feel about myself, my ambitions and motives that I hope to conquer.
