Description/Reviews:

A New World If You Can Take It blends modern metalcore, post-hardcore, and progressive rock with philosophical and spiritual themes. Lyrically, it draws from real-life mystical encounters, apocalyptic worldviews, and personal reckonings. From the crushing intensity of “After Me, The Flood” to the cryptographic experimentation of “Cherub,” the album is rich with symbolism, sonic depth, and intention. With tracks engineered and recorded over an 18-month period, the album incorporates ciphers, backmasking, and musical cryptograms, making it as much a cerebral experience as an emotional one. The album’s thematic backbone explores transformation through “Time and Alchemy,” set against the ghostly backdrop of the Rust Belt and surreal encounters with underground spiritual communities.
