Suffer

Fifteen tracks of high-speed melodic hardcore clocking in under 26 minutes. A landmark of intellectual punk defined by academic lyrics and soaring vocal harmonies.

It's like a philosophy lecture delivered at 200 beats per minute by guys who actually know how to sing.

Intense, articulate frustration delivered with melodic precision and intellectual defiance.

The production is pushed notably harder into analog warmth than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift from the feedback intro into the relentless precision of the title track's opening riff.

The 'oozin ahs' vocal harmonies on 'Do What You Want' that provide a melodic counterpoint to the breakneck speed.

The way 'Pessimistic Lines' closes the album with a final, defiant rejection of modern superstition.
