It features intense guitar riffs, pounding drums, and powerful vocals that often touch on themes of personal struggle and emotional turmoil.

Fans of heavy alternative music are drawn to its cathartic and empowering qualities, using it as a means of expressing their own emotions and finding solace in the music.
