    Huge thanks to our good friend Plini who came to the rescue when Ryan sadly came down with the flu a couple of days before this session and was unable to perform with us. Plini smashed it out of the park at incredibly short notice and we're so grateful to him for helping us out.
    Thanks for having us Triple J!!

      Brendo - personally don’t think it is, but no worries at all. Not sure if you’ve seen them live but they nearly broke our hometown venue in the states. Dude just has a strong control in and out of the studio that not a lot of vocalists in this genre have. Definitely god tier quality. Pumped to see what their 3rd record sounds like.

      Definitely agree, one of the best new metal core vocalists that I've seen in the last few years. Amazing tone and range. Their live performances sound very similar to the studio version.
