This is definitely one of the most genre defining and ground-breaking albums of all time. Its influence to metal can be seen in bands to this day, and let's not forget that every single Melodic Metalcore band in the 2000's attempted to emulate this sound to some degree.
It certainly delivers very well in every single aspect that could be expected from a 2000's Metalcore release. it has the guitar harmonies, the groovy breakdowns, the ear piercing screams and, of course, the ... read more
Absolutely iconic EP. Every single song in this is technically impressive and manages to keep the listener's attention. I've seen some people call it dated but I honestly don't hear it.

"@lowXIXlow Yeah. I love B minor circlejerking but imo CYB doesn't really do it anymore for me, mainly because it's literally just At The Gates worshipping... but it's undercooked and unseasoned"
