Wow very cool! Super-interesting and musical!

[@richharris9489]

Never heard him play anything but metal before. Pretty cool diverse is good.

[@Rsobergfell]

Really like that bass sound.

[@diegoq8417]

Fretless 🖤

[@Lambros-A.]

Nice song
Excellent drumming and interesting choice of phrasing! I believe that songs like that leave space to the "metal" drummers,to express themselves without barriers!Great video!

[@mickeydr]

not sure if the vocals are intentionally out of pitch for artistic reasons. It seems so, because both vocalists seem to do it deliberately in some parts and reaching explicitly for dissonances. However I tried to enjoy it but I couldn't. Something like this has the risk to sound amateurish even if done for artistic reasons. Stellar drumming obviously!

[@hazardeur]

if these vox are intentionally out of pitch, these singers are the best singer to ever walk this earth in terms of tonality lol. let's just be real though, they're not

[@ChaosPootato]

At least you know it wasn't pitch corrected :D

[@edgarrivera1733]

One of my favorite drummers ever, you're the greatest!

[@KyleCastroTheDrummerBoy090613]

[@UndeadSpaceMonkey1]

Thanks for the leaked song.
Next album is gonna be awesome

[@davidbojarski2423]

All metal drummers are diverse can play all kind of music

[@CadPCrayon]

Sounds quite a bit like The Mercury Tree.

[@RobGamesNZ]

...and back to my original point kids, don't smoke crack!

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

😬

[@seinttalive839]

good drumming, but the vocal mix is so... ew.

[@Khunvyel]

I thought the same, as if it sounds like a rough mix. Actually, I really hope this IS the rough mix because I'm curious as to what the full version will sound like. Not sure if I should bet for pitch correction in the final version or not.

[@MrE1981]

Jesus, the vocals are a bit terrible huh!?

[@robertlaurain3094]

I'm sorry, I just don't dig the vocals, but the drumming is a-1!

[@RockBarnRecords]

Amateur vocals, pro drumming.
