     This three-piece from Chicago, Illinois were around in 2013 and then were done. In and out with a single six-song EP called 'Tainted', how very screamo indeed. The songs are very dark, emotional, raw, eerie, and generally just super moody, with jarring/shrieky vocals and the occasional spoken word (but so much more, like a controlled emotional wail). Tracks like "Cold Winter Showers" (very bassy), "Hold" (very playful), "How Many People Should Be Dissected?" (very diverse), and "Ignorant Assimilation" (very epic) are the ones to perk your ears up for when listening through, as they are fleshed out and super engaging. The closer "Ignorant Assimilation" (live video here) is my numba one here, as that dark/dancey vibe builds until the vocalist is left alone screaming before the climax - HOLY FUCK that's some good shit. They definitely hit a sweet-spot that's hard to place, but A Paramount A Love Supreme, Swan Of Tuonela, and Truman are probably the most apt comparisons here.
