Our first release, and the first song we wrote together. The song through which we formed our bond.
Sun Stain is a crushing doom metal song with a hardcore edge, culminating in a cathartic and sludgy post-metal climax.
Lyrically, Sun Stain is about finding peace through disillusionment; about rejecting long-held beliefs once thought to be truth.
Sun Stain can be purchased as part of the debut EP Everything Hurts and I'm Dying, presented with a new and improved mix as compared to the original single release, and remastered by Erik Peabody

03/09/2024...notably thick riffage with a very nice dual vocals--hoarsely bellowed, and then shouted through a sneer--following close behind... ...vocal delivery is harsh and emotively raw... ...the vocals are surprisingly contemplative and somber for all of their initial aggression. The tail end of the track stretches into more post-metal territory, delivering some excellent soloing over a thundering wall of noise.
