Two loud and great voices in post hardcore whose sounds seem to be cut from a very similar cloth, join forces and release an ear-splitting split on Run For Cover Records.
Texans, Portrayal of Guilt, offer the beautifully titled, The End of Man Will Bring Peace to This Earth, and once again show that their unparalleled ferocity has many faces, switching between fury and melancholy, while Atlanta's Slow Fire Pistol, also change paces and shift gears on the more classic emo/hardcore bent and lengthier, Heart Of Discernment.
Both bands forge ahead really hard, blurring the lines and the boundaries of some of the most extreme genres to come out with something lyrically and soundly weighty, guttural, but also deeply poetic.
