Volumes bring weight and vulnerability into sharp alignment on Happier?, an eleven-track metalcore album built from low-slung guitar force, tight rhythmic turns and clean melodic lift. “FXB” opens the record without ceremony before “Malevolent”, “Bend” and “Get Enough” establish its central tension: punishing momentum set against an uneasy, searching emotional tone. The result is heavy music with shape and contrast, not a single sustained wall of aggression. The second side keeps changing the pressure. “Man On Fire” and “Weighted” deliver compact impact, while “See You Again” and “Into You (Hurt)” push the record toward a more exposed, atmospheric register. Brief “Void” then clears the ground for the five-minute title track, the album’s longest piece and a fittingly substantial close. Happier? rewards listeners who want modern metalcore to carry melody, rhythmic precision and emotional ambiguity alongside its physical punch.

Happier? captures Volumes balancing the technical, groove-driven heft associated with their sound against a notably melodic and vulnerable streak. Its careful sequencing gives the contrasts room to register, making the album more than a collection of breakdowns: it feels like a complete, emotionally unsettled statement.

This worldwide 2022 Fearless Records edition presents Happier? as a single album LP on Sea Glass vinyl. The colour treatment suits the record’s blend of cool atmosphere and concentrated heaviness, while the full eleven-track programme is divided across two sides, ending with the extended title track.

Dense, down-tuned guitars and sharply locked rhythms meet clean melodic passages, atmospheric space and an anxious emotional current; forceful but never one-dimensional.
