It's been a little over a year since the 4 of us decided that it was time to breathe life back into Advent. Life is beautiful in all its ups and downs and the course all 4 of our lives lead to these new songs. When we decided that we were ready to record we knew without a doubt that our long time friend Kris Hilbert @lgtbiz was the perfect person to help us bring this to life. Kris brought another element to these songs and has been a huge part of this new record. Thank you so much Kris for everything you have done. We can't wait for everyone to hear these songs. #painandsuffering2016 #adventhardcore #Advent #NCHC #breakthesechains #verybigcrunch 📸 by Hudson Rose Smrdel age 6
