The band fuses deathcore breakdowns with nu-metal grooves and bass music electronics, signed to Season of Mist and releasing their debut EP Infinite Reminiscence in June 2024. The six-track release tackles themes of addiction, depression, and loss, and features collaborations with vocalists from Conquer Divide and Chunk No Captain Chunk.
