Holy shit it's another full album~

So I first heard about this band from Tumblr after two of their songs were on a "worst song" poll tournament series (which no longer exists -- the mod deleted it before it could even reach the semifinals. Which sucks. But ehh). But much to my surprise, one of the songs actually fucking BANGS. Did a bit of digging and checked the band out, and I can safely say the rest of the album bangs just as much as the song that introduced me to them.

Music-wise, this band's got a lot of influences wrapped up in an avant-garde metal package, from the thrashiness of "Leg Scratch"'s main riff to the vaguely-gothic Evanescence-y stylings of "Screamin' in the Gleamin'". There's even some K-pop influences in there, which the band proudly touts on their YouTube description. The lyrics are quite entertaining, with most of them dealing with mundanities such as finding a dress with pockets, being rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery with embarassing wardrobe choices, and having a psychotic break while consuming a few too many vodka-infused gummies.

Overall, I think this band should definitely get more appreciation. This is their only album (not counting an EP they'd released earlier that contains the other song in that "worst song" poll -- which sucks a lot more than the one introducing me to the band as a whole, but I get the feeling that that song was just a joke, so ymmv), so I hope they get to put out more soon!

(edit: turns out I lied about the EP having the shitty joke song. It was just a standalone single.)

Standout tracks: "Imimmortal", "Leg Scratch", "Screamin' in the Gleamin", "LTD"
