"I said to the band, this is our 'Iowa'," declares Graphic Nature frontman Harvey Freeman. He's not wrong.

'Who Are You When No One Is Watching?' — the nu-metalcore mob's speedy follow-up to last year's 'A Mind Waiting To Die' — is a soundtrack to self-immolation; aggressively violent, deliriously dark and packed to the rafters with more bangers than your local butchers.

Much like Slipknot's 'Iowa' does, 'Who Are You When No One Is Watching' rips flesh from skin in its opening moments, flooding the wounds with bleach. 'Locked In' slams with brain-bludgeoning basslines as Freeman screams, "Yeah, I'm a little fucked up, but I've got so much to say, mentally deranged, who gives a fuck?" before revealing you're now "locked into the sounds of the 404."

"It's a reference to Kurupt FM, because we all love Kurupt FM," Harvey roars, at home in his study, adorned with anime figures and Warhammer miniatures, as he reflects on their rallying cry. "It's just us saying, 'Right, cool'. I've spoken a little bit, but now you're locked into the 404; this is what's to come, so now you're with us, let's go."
