Since the quality of a hardcore band is judged by the effectveness of their live show, being a hardcore frontperson requires more than just proper vocal technique. You need to have the right type of charisma and an attitude that meshes well with the band’s sound. You need to not just be energetic yourself, but be able to radiate that energy and translate it into the crowd before you. A good hardcore frontperson sings the songs correctly and performs in a way that’s entertaining to watch — but a great hardcore frontperson knows that they’re not the reason people paid to get in the door.

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes booklet. Seven years into a career built on an uncompromising ethos and carefully crafted, brutal sounds, Jesus Piece melds intelligence and aggression in a manner that doesn't just push the genre's rigid boundaries. It sets the standard for the shape of hardcore to come.... So Unknown is the sound of articulated brutality that defies categorization. It's 28 minutes of rage and introspection slammed into the red.

Co-produced and mixed by Randy LeBouef (Every Time I Die, Orthodox), '... So Unknown' is a spectacular second act and a passage to something more intense and personal for the five Pennsylvania natives.
