On this their second full-length, Denver’s Faim continue their mission to reanimate 2000s melodic hardcore, revitalising and rejuvenating it with a raging vitality.

Blending the burning emotional catharsis of Verse and Have Heart, and the melodic dissonance of The Effort, with a stripped back raw clarity that recalls New Lexicon-era Paint It Black, this is an impressively dynamic collection.  Lyrically, the band continue to forcefully challenge entrenched privilege, but there is also a more personally reflective tone in evidence, with the writings of Sylvia Plath providing a rich seam of inspiration.  This is expected to be Faim’s final release, and they are bowing out on a stirring high.
