Wow. Talk about memory lane!! These guys were great. I loved this band back in the day. These guys and Coma Eternal were two of my favorite bands growing up in middle School and high school. Along with like 7 angels 7 plagues, wings of Scarlett, Amora savant, Nehemiah, end this day, and misery signals. Great bands of like that first wave of TRUE metalcore. Gotta love it.
