      I saw the these guys live in 2022. Needless to say after walking out of the venue, getting in my car, driving literally 250 miles back home, and 1 week later..I was stunned in the best way possible. AMAZING. Can’t wait to see them again. But I gotta take off a few days to recover..

      I've been listening to the first 12 seconds of the song over and over trying to figure it out. The low notes punctuate a fours beat but it makes more sense to count it in threes? I think I'm going to see if somebody has done a song analysis lol. It feels like it tricks you into feeling the wrong beat at first

      i wouldn't say better than a PRS, but close to equal to the best PRS stuff. never thought i'd see a guitar get anywhere near as close to PRS. esp isn't a bad brand or anything, but javier's model is totally different than what they're going for normally. easily in the top 5, maybe top 3 of all artist sig models that ESP has ever done. top 1 and 2 go to metallica and stephen carpenter, of course

      @@tym5483 I’ll check them out but I’m with the other guy. It’s hard to find a djent band that is interesting outside of the norm, creating their own personality. I like meshuggah but after a while, I have to stop listening to them because it gets a little boring. Rhythms are always interesting but sometimes melodies aren’t as interesting. Some other bands aren’t as interesting to me either. Gotta find the right amount of djent. I like intervals, haven’t really been able to get into periphery, I’ll even throw Jinjer in there, they’re a weird one but still pretty djenty and I love them. I’ll check your guys out and get back to you on them. AAL have been my go to since I first even got into metal but if I can find someone else I listen ti all the time, that’s good.

    This song would definitely be the crowd-pleaser because you can tell how much fun the guys are having and are so into it especially Javier haha might be one of his favorites in my opinion. Him and Tosin dissonant/harmonic banter at 2:13 was so fucking cool (So fucking heavy). That's why I would rather be in a band than to perform solo projects because you learn from your bandmates and just have fun with sounds haha love it! The song really ends at 4:20 haha
