North Carolina post hardcore space rockish band Hopesfall released their first album in 11 years today. They’re one of my favorite bands and all of their albums and EPs rank in my list of favorites, quite high up too.

“Arbiter” is no exception. This isn’t a typical reunion/comeback album that ends up lame. This is straight evolution without sacrificing quality and uniqueness. There’s a lot of heavy and mellow on here.
