“The House Of The Fallen Souls,” is a powerful opening track. It hits hard, and presses the listener to dig deep into themselves. The guitars and the vocals match themselves in intensity.

“Boogeyman,” is a ripper of a song. It saunters from one periphery to another, all the while slashing through convention and showing careless disregard.

“My Life,” comes in like a battering ram. The guitars are picture perfect, the vocals, are pristine, the instrumentation throughout leaves the listener demanding more.

“A Sad Song,” hits hard. The instrumentation is melancholic, the melodies are soulful. The entire song is impactful and filled with presence and mindfulness.

“Shining Black,” hits hard. The riffs are filled with energy and life, the melodies add an extra twist and shake to proceedings.

“Just Another Day,” rolls in hard. Filtering through the noise and producing something quite eclectic and filled with life. It is a song and a half and truly captures the spirit of the times.

“Where Are Your Gods,” is an absolute ripper. The guitars show off and the melodies intertwine with one another to produce something purely fantastic.

“The Carousel,” is emphatic in its scope.

“The Day We Said Goodbye,” slows things down slightly, enabling introspection and slowly builds into a chaotic finale.

“We Fall,” finishes things off nicely.

The album is out on 10th July.
