On Broken Wings is a metalcore group originating from Boston, Massachusetts, established in 2001. They are recognized for creating the term "moshcore" to characterize their unique blend of metal infused with post-hardcore and hardcore breakdowns. According to AllMusic, their sound can be described as post-emo metalcore incorporating elements of grindcore.
Following the independent release of their Number One Beautiful EP, the band secured a deal with Eulogy Recordings and subsequently launched two full-length albums: Some of Us May Never See the World in 2003 and It's All a Long Goodbye in 2005. In 2007, they issued the Going Down EP, which included the original EP tracks alongside four additional songs.
