Upon Us

Gritty, unpolished alternative metal defined by hypnotic vocal harmonies and unexpected electronic textures. The raw blueprint for their major label success.

It's the raw, basement-tape version of the Taproot songs you know, but with more grit and weird samples.

A high-tension balance of aggressive rhythmic energy and haunting, melodic introspection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from melodic vocal harmonies to a guttural scream in Again & Again.
The way the electronic samples glitch through the heavy guitar wall on Mentobe.
The raw, unpolished drum break that opens Flatline with a sense of urgency.
