I don't know where I came across this Aussie gem, but it was recently (as in this year / 2022) and it instantly resonated with me. Why? Because it's sick screamo/emo-violence that sounds like a cross between Eyelet, Scenario and Maths. The band's sole 2018 EP 'Skeleton' is seven tracks of pure fire. There's a ton of amazing stuff in this short EP including but not limited to: the kick-ass close of opener "The Bad Wolf", the dual vocals in the 50-second meltdown "Wormwood", the super sick and Eyelet-esque "'Now that you're dead, what are you gonna do with your life?'", the playful-yet-dark "The David Emge Zombie Walk", or the band's self-titled song and fucking banger/riff-soup "Conrad Veidt", this EP has almost everything you'd want from a screamo release. Oh, did I mention there were two Orchid covers? Fuck yeah there are.

I can't recommend this enough. Always love a good ole obscure skramz post.
