THEY FOLLOWED WITH THEIR FIRST PROPER FULL-LENGTH, EVERY WAVE OF SOUND, WHICH RECEIVED UNANIMOUS ACCLAIM FROM THE UNDERGROUND METAL PRESS.

AFTER RELENTLESS TOURING FOR A YEAR-AND-A-HALF, THE BAND RE-ENTERED THE STUDIO. IN AUGUST 2016, WILLAX ANNOUNCED A "NEW ALBUM" IN A YOUTUBE INTERVIEW. IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, INVOGUE ISSUED THE VIDEO FOR PRE-RELEASE SINGLE "DAMAGED GOODS" AND FOLLOWED IT WITH "RUNAWAY" IN MARCH, AND "TUNNEL VISION AND "CASH OUT" IN APRIL. THE FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, ALL THE HELL YOU'VE GOT TO SPARE, WAS ISSUED IN EARLY MAY.
