Common Existence

Dense, literary post-hardcore produced with a thick, psychedelic haze. A heavy meditation on the shared human experience through jagged riffs and soaring vocals.

It's like a post-hardcore band decided to write a thesis on existential literature and then recorded it through a beautiful wall of noise.

A dense, intellectually restless energy that finds a strange sense of peace in shared human struggle.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, chaotic drum fill that opens Resuscitation of a Dead Man setting a frantic pace.
The haunting, slowed-down bridge of Subway Funeral where the urban noise seems to swallow the melody.
The way the guitars interlock in a dizzying, math-rock spiral during the climax of Circuits of Fever.
