Starting with quiet guitar arpeggios and vocals, then building into a driving interlude and finally breaking into a two-beat—this feels like a textbook example of melodic hardcore, doesn’t it? I can picture the scene at a live show: fans on someone’s shoulders pushing toward the front during the calm opening, then all diving at once the moment the intense interlude kicks in.
