Afterglow begins with an attractive instrumental and vivid vocal intro to the album, "Prelude "The Afterglow." A gorgeous mix of otherworldly atmospherics, brutal guitar riffs, and impactful percussive blows, it takes us excitedly into what's to come on the album.
Moments like "Resurgence" are beautiful, nostalgic orchestral aggressive bliss intertwined with rich multi-ranged vocal control.

One of the best tracks on the record, "Resurgence" will be a highlight many will return to on Afterglow.
Another highlight among this record is "These Walls," featuring Aaron Ward of Keep Me Alive. We Are Victory are very good at keeping orchestral and heavy elements balanced within their instrumental framework, and "These Walls" showcases this beautifully.
