Pray for Villains

High-fidelity groove metal with a cinematic anti-hero streak. Relentless double-bass drumming meets sandpaper vocals and thick, rhythmic guitar hooks.

It is the musical equivalent of a high-speed chase where the bad guy is the one you are rooting for.

A relentless, confrontational energy with a dark, cinematic sense of purpose.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The title track's opening riff that establishes a swinging, mid-tempo groove before the double-kick explodes.

The rhythmic interplay between the jagged guitar stabs and the snare on 'Pure Sincerity'.

The unexpected melodic lift in the chorus of 'Teach Me to Whisper' that provides a brief respite from the grit.
