The Ghosts Among Us

High-velocity post-hardcore defined by the raw intensity of teenage angst and the polished technicality of the late-2000s Epitaph Records sound.

Find on Amazon

It's the heaviest thing they ever did, recorded when the singer was basically still a kid.

A high-pressure release of youthful frustration and existential anxiety wrapped in aggressive technicality.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from melodic soaring to a guttural breakdown in the opening track
The intricate guitar tapping sequence that provides a brief shimmering respite before the heavy chorus of Escape
The way the dual vocals overlap during the bridge of Recovery, creating a frantic internal dialogue
