Betrayal have been igniting the metal-core scene over the past four years starting with their first EP The People's Fallacy in 2008. Hard to believe the entire band is currently between the ages of 19 and 20. With a more mature mindset gained from relentless touring and playing, the band return with their debut full-length album Abandonment. The album delivers downtuned riff attacks as thick as scud missles with the dark commanding vocals of Brendan Foley and frequent forays into some of the most savage breakdowns in modern times. Loosely themed, guitarist Sean Chamilian says that the album "reflects Brendan's mind-set that he feels alone in this world at times surrounded by shitty people and left alone to fight against what he feels is wrong."
