The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends

Polished alternative metal defined by breathy, theatrical vocals and clinical metaphors. A heavy, melancholic exploration of psychological tension.

It's like if a medical textbook and a gothic novel had a baby that grew up listening to Tool and Breaking Benjamin.

A sophisticated and theatrical descent into psychological tension and melodic melancholy.
