Knocked Loose

A Tear in the Fabric of Life

Deserves a 10/10 at this point despite being just an EP. The lyrics add so much more to it holy shit.

Instrumentals only add to the brutality of this project, along with the vocals that consistently switch from formal screamo to grindcore. A lot of ideas and just the final product are really ... read more
