What we noticed

  • The album features a consistent tempo, with all tracks maintaining a fast pace that rarely dips below high energy.
  • Vocals are delivered in a raw, aggressive style that often overlaps with the instrumentation, creating a wall of sound.
  • Each track typically follows a verse-chorus structure, but many songs incorporate abrupt tempo changes and breakdowns to enhance intensity.
