The title trackbegins with a mournful overtone and a wallowing synth, before a powerful breakdown crashes down on the listener. Charged with riveting guitar streaks and intense drums, it’s clear this album is going to be one hell of a rollercoaster. Steal The Sun has choppy drumbeats with a soaring guitar that gives way to vocalist Lawrence Taylor’s growl. He alternates with cleaner vocals, at one point even producing a catchy, little rap. Wide Awake also sees Taylor experimenting with his vocal range, while Silence Speaks burns with emotion, and Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes intensifies the vibe by contributing his vocals to the song.
Hurricane croons at the beginning before kicking off with a piercing riff. Civil Isolation is charged with heavy guitar-work and complex lyrics with a political overtone, as Taylor sings, “Sick of always following, sick of trying to be another cog in their machine.” Closer In Another Now screams pure metalcore, confirming this album to be just as ferocious and politically charged as its predecessors.
