A Thousand Miles Of Rope

by When Knives Go Skyward

supported by

Wes, The Champion Tied with Jane Doe as quite literally the best metalcore album of all time Favorite track: Stall.

maft-bailey So bloody good! Favorite track: Stall.

Robzilla The greatest band that never was finally putting out their official debut album! Still better than 90% of contemporary whatever-core bands and that's 15 years after recording these songs. <3

Novachrono Josh Travis and Chad Kapper together? You’d have to be deaf or an idiot to not like this. Here’s to hoping they drop some new music soon. Favorite track: Desert Necktie.

Streaming + Download

Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Versions of our debut have floated around the internet for years. It's hard to say what version you may find out there for download as we recorded this album 3-4 times due to circumstances like leaks, failed hard drives, etc.

This is the final version we did and the real true version that was supposed to see the light of day. The original stems are lost, but these tracks have been livened up a bit.

We've given it out for free for so many years, so that is why there is a pice for now. Please feel free to donate what you want. We appreciate it and hope you enjoy this album as much as we did creating it.

XO,

WKGS

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
