We Were Skeletons’ brand of angular hardcore is one that must be heard and fully absorbed to be properly appreciated. It is the band’s dichotomy that makes We Were Skeletons such a fascinating and challenging listen. The band’s instrumental approach is harshly aggressive yet finely intricate. There are striking hints of melody hidden below the controlled chaos of the band. Every cathartic scream means something but We Were Skeletons stays true with measured restraint at all points.
We Were Skeletons has conducted a mature record that rewards the listener who appreciates such meticulous and inventive songwriting. This is a dynamic take on genres that are often stifled by a lack of creativity, subtlety and melody. We Were Skeletons has calculated their madness with expert precision and undoubtedly the band has raised the bar with this breathtaking statement.
