The sixth studio long-player from the Winthrop, Massachusetts-based post-hardcore/metalcore unit,
Watchers of Rule finds
Unearth eschewing the more melodic/soaring chorus elements of past outings like March and
Darkness in the Light in favor of a more muscular, malevolent, and relentlessly cacophonous plan of attack that's built on a foundation of furious riffing and unwavering breakdowns. Produced by Mark Lewis (
DevilDriver,
Whitechapel), the 11-track collection of new music (an extended 13-track version is also available) was preceded by the blistering, aptly titled first single "The Swarm." ~ James Christopher Monger
