“This is a record I've been wanting to make for years but, until recently, never felt I had enough energy to actually put together,” said frontman Brandon Hill. “Late last year I finally felt motivated enough, or maybe disgusted with the world enough, to finally turn the ideas into something.”

Inspired by the chaos, violence, corruption and extremism rampant throughout society, guitarist/vocalist Brandon Hill (Unto Others) turned to writing as a way to express the hopelessness and anger felt towards mankind’s failures during the pandemic. STRESS TEST is a documentation of those mental struggles and a way to confront the darker aspects of humanity exacerbated by isolation and the constant barrage of negative news.

Recorded and mixed by Gabe Johnston (Unto Others, Hoaxed) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Integrity, Obituary), the two singles are taken from the upcoming EP, which will be revealed in due time. For now, this serves as an introduction.
