Before the world knew the name Matt Heafy, he was a 17-year-old phenom shredding on a debut album that sounds remarkably fully-formed. Recorded when the band members were still in high school, Ember to Inferno is raw, unpolished, and hungry. It leans heavily into the metalcore of the early 2000s (Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour) but with a neo-classical lilt that hinted at heavier things.
