"Of Vengeance and Violence" is their third full-length album. It was released on September 19, 2006 through "Repossession Records". The international version was released by SPV Records. The album was leaked onto the Internet on August 22, 2006, almost a month before its official release date.
The lead singer, Cliff Rigano, has at one time said that the band will never "jump on the metalcore bandwagon" referering to the rise of metalcore music during 2000 nu metal album with a few nods to other genres, while the second album, with a new guitarist, explored different metal styles a little more. Their use at regular intervals of metal techniques, such as causing the guitar to "squeal" explains people's habit of calling them a metalcore band.

Dry Kill Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good but I wonder why
You have left me here
My pride, forgave, rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will
All the things I thought I would say
Now all I can do is pray and wait
Rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will
Crucified, I alone lay here
My pride, forgave, rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will, never will
