Chances are you don't feel right with your place in the world. Sometimes you feel like you deserve more, sometimes you feel like you don't actually deserve what you have. Svalbard have a thing or two to say about that.

I think this is a bit more metal-oriented than their previous one? Or at least, I don't think these songs would sound as heavily post-hardcore live as their sets have sounded when I've seen them. I quite like it, the proper heavy drumming nd the melodic tremolos work really well on songs like November

I really like this release, there's so much energy and ferocity to it, I'll admit though, the softer vocal parts took me by surprise a wee bit. Oh, and I agree about the drumming, it's fantastic.
