Their 2024 album 'Dualism' features eight tracks of fast, groove-laced melodic death metal, following the earlier full-length 'Thresholds', and the band continues to develop their sound toward a darker, more aggressive direction.

Philadelphia's Minarchist have been developing their progressive death metal sound since 2016, working in a city that has produced some of the East Coast's most technically focused extreme acts.
