Its sharp alternation between speed and breakdown weight keeps the compact sequence moving, though much of the writing stays within familiar deathcore structures.

What we noticed

  • The ten songs move between blast-beat runs and slower, heavy breakdowns; the shifts in pace are a recurring structural hinge rather than a one-off contrast.
  • The title track arrives third, while the closing stretch runs through four tracks without an instrumental interlude or a major change in sound.
  • Guttural vocals sit prominently over tightly compressed guitars and drums, with the slower sections giving the rhythmic hits more space than the faster passages.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
