The group commented:

“Serving as a powerful follow-up, ‘pain processing II’ finds us returning with even more purpose, intensity, and emotional weight. Building on the raw vulnerability and crushing heaviness that defined ‘pain processing,’ this EP pushes our sound deeper into the chaos while sharpening every edge. We’re blending suffocating breakdowns, punishing riffs, and emotional vocals with an atmosphere that feels both personal and destructive, creating a listening experience that hits just as hard emotionally as it does sonically.

Rather than simply continuing where the previous release left off, ‘pain processing II’ expands our vision—diving further into themes of struggle, reflection, and release. Each track feels like another stage of the process, where aggression and honesty collide in waves of controlled brutality. It’s heavier, darker, and more focused. We understand exactly what we want this sound to be.

As a follow-up, ‘pain processing II’ doesn’t just revisit familiar ground—it intensifies it. The result is a relentless, cathartic chapter, proving our evolution is far from over.”
