The Dawning of Dystopia
You won't have a clue quite what to expect after the bubbly title track intro and may think you have it figured out within the first couple of minutes of the breakdown-y Swedcore that is "We Met Destruction", but you'll still be missing the mark until you've waded in well past the buoys.
