Such a good release, Spiritbox have always brought a refined sound to the metalcore genre but once again here the quality and sonic sphere is great. All songs have such a special groove - something I feel has been missing from a lot of contemporary metal releases.
The band continues to experiment with synths and industrial sounds but in a way that doesn't take away from the guitar-centric music, and definitely doesn't compromise the heaviness.

It isn't a bad album but I won't be returning to it any time soon, fine ... read more
