About the Album
The Party’s Over was an album that allowed the band to reflect on what was happening during this portion of their lives. A couple of the members were going through rough patches in their lives while recording and creating this album. The band decided to go down a darker path with the lyrics, most of which had already been written by Troy prior to recording. The album art and concept needed to be representative of this darker path. We decided on a horror theme with a little of IT and Michael Myers involved. The album is designed around a child, similar to Michael Myers, who kills everyone at his birthday party and is sent away to an asylum. We created three music videos to create the story line, which can be viewed on our YouTube channel. There is a teaser video that sets up the story. “Cardiac” then takes you to the asylum, and it concludes with “Fire!”!
This EP will take you in a heavier direction than that of the previous Within Us All EP. However, we wanted to stick to our hard rock/metal roots. It was the first album that featured their new guitarists Bryant Walters and Shawn Taylor. This was the band’s first EP that was a total collaboration from everyone in every aspect of the music. This EP helped define the band and allowed them to find their tone. With a blend of hard rock and alternative metal, it allows anyone who loves the rock genre to enjoy and feel the music.
