Codeseven — a melodic hardcore band hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina — have announced their first new album in 19 years. Go Let It In will be released on December 1.

The band, made up of three brothers and a couple friends, formed in 1995 and released their debut EP, Paper Or Plastic, the following year. Their full-length follow-up, A Sense Of Coalition, featured a cover of Don Henley’s “The Boys Of Summer” that became a college radio hit. A few more albums followed, but they broke up the year after releasing 2004’s Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds. The band reunited in 2010 for a handful of shows.

“With this new record, we tackled what we considered the ultimate challenge: to write and record a full length that sounds as good, if not better, than the last record,” the band shared in a statement. “Following a 20-year hiatus, this felt like it could be impossible. It’s hard to beat time and nostalgia but we certainly wanted to try. And yes, we think we did.”
