Although not frequently in the mainstream spotlight, their musical output stands out for its technical prowess, fierce political and social commentary, and unrelenting, visceral sound that pushes the boundaries of the metalcore genre. Despite lineup changes and periods of inactivity, the devotion and intensity Ed Gein brings to their music keep their fanbase loyal and their status in the hardcore scene respected.
