Coat Of Arms

Wolves in sheeps clothing. That’s probably the best way to describe everything about Coat Of Arms . Composed and cordial on the outside, but cold and carnivorous on the inside. Whether it comes to getting revenge, unleashing anger or keeping our inner demons at bay, the band dials and taps into the Jekyll & Hyde nature that we all possess.
