Their album, ‘La Petite Mort‘ delivers the grim reality of Flint, MI with songs like the ferocious ‘Alpha & Omega‘ and the powerful title track. As the album takes listeners on a journey to enlightenment via Gunn’s self-reflection, sonically showcasing a diverse musical spectrum, from dark ambient electronica (‘Wolves Run Together‘), street-level poetry (‘War Time’ Feat. Trick Trick) and grand string arrangements (‘Black Swan‘).
Check out the visceral video for ‘Alpha & Omega‘, conceptualized and directed by frontman David Gunn below;
