Alexisonfire collectively likened themselves to a soft, worn-in sweater on their self-titled debut, but there’s nevertheless a hard-barbed heaviness puncturing the Canadian post-hardcore group’s first full-length. For all the sweetness found in Dallas Green’s clean-sung contributions — which only increased from here — it’s a record that thrives off the chaotic dynamic between him and perma-scream vocalist George Petitt, while also juxtaposing incendiary noise-fractured metalcore with emo-adjacent melody-making.
