Second album from Alaskan metallers, now relocated to Oregon, follows 2002's 'Bitterness The Star' and is a paean to the frozen beauty of their home state. Produced by emo veteran James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever) and mixed by Andy Sneap (Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy), the album's hardhitting sound is more consistent and emotional than their debut and looks set to propel them to the front of the burgeoning screamo movement.
