The Adventurous Metalcore Album of 2026: Breaking Down "The Anatomy of Survival" with Vicious Rain

Is this change going to be a massive shift from what the band has as its core sound?But what would be a word for an album where a band does take those chances and has a lot of natural flowing fun while doing it? Would it match when the sound is rather exploratory but still connective with their core sound?
