Genre: Sludge Metal/Post-Hardcore
FCC clean
Canadian band, Thérèse Lanz on guitars and vocals, and Stefani MacKichan on drums

1.(3.52)- sludgy riffs started off, lurking danger, menacing tone, laid-back tempo
*2. (3.50)- lots of screaming, pounding drums, lots of rhythm guitars playing
*3. (4.37)- lurking/menacing intro, hateful screams, twisted post-hardcore structures, aggressive
4. (2.17)- Old grudge bursts into violence
5. (5.25)- Evil curse+sick nightmare, instrumental
6. (1.23)- weird sounds like some broken machine throughout the whole song
7. (5.26)- Dark+melancholy, merely droning guitar tone until the beginning of 1:00 starts growling, deeper and higher-pitched growling, backs to droning/sluggish inactivity in the middle+echoing vocal, back to heavy riffs around 4:00; malevolent
8. (1.06)- harsh sound starts off, pounding drums and guitar distortion, like beating some guy in the bar
9. (5.40)- shy intro, covert, instrumental
*10. (8.09)- sluggish tone/ no vocal until around 1:00, and then someone whispers, hard hitting drumming, saturated tone, harsh/evil/dark
