    If you haven't, you should check out their latest album "this place will become your tomb", easily one of the best releases of 2021 imo

    Never heard of these guys, but they have a new fan for sure. Didn't think I'd enjoy it as I'm more into screamy bois but this is catchy af! Time to listen to more on Spotify!

      Check out their song "Gods". I'm a metalhead too and that one is just... wow. All the songs are great though.

    I love how you cannot peg this band to a single genre, ever since I found them when the calcutta MV was released their sound has changed so much it's crazy. Cannot believe I have been a fan of them for nearly 5 years already.
