The San Diego band redefines heavy on their new album, Guides for the Misguided. Bobby Ferry returns at the helm as the band's viceral vocalist and guitarist, and in true -(16)- fashion, belts out stories of pain and unhinged anguish - standout tracks like "Proudly Damned" see the band playing at the crowd while Ferry shares tales of personal strife and depression - "To defile and offend/These are the demons found within/The sullen face of communion’s alarm/It’s an incentive to do more harm" - Ferry is absolutely seething while the band plows through a virulent mix of rock, metal and sludge.
