POISE

“… What ties the five songs together is one seething question: how did we allow power to rot everything around us? With an underlying anti-fascist and anti-clerical rhetoric the band tackles themes of mental health collapse, weaponized ignorance, and global decay, all delivered over bulldozing riffs and bunker-busting d-beats...” - The DIY Conspiracy

"...Upon pressing play, the listener is assaulted with crushing riffs, distorted vocals, and soaring guitar solos lurking in the background.
