Break down the walls. There's no reason to lie any more
I have the perfect plan. No fear, don't cry
It's been on the back of my mind for quite some time now.
I don't want to follow anyone anymore
Why are you the king, when we all wear the crown?
You've led the sheep away
No one wants to stay
We feel betrayal
Now you're left to pay
With the mistakes you've made
Left to take the blame
Lead into the flames
Born and bred to play these games
Fuck all the trust, given up
Just to be shit out of luck
There's no one left at all
You'll never make it through the wall
Left in the cold to fucking decay
Answer me
Why are you the king, when we all wear the crown?

One of the best deathcore releases ever, each song is great and unique with an interesting story attached to them. Every track from these guys is impressive and mind blowing. tpalm66
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
Filtering Y2K-era emo and metal through 8-bit distortion, the Chicago band's latest is a digicore glitchfest you won't want to miss. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 20, 2025
