Sounds great. Greetings Mark.

I love ESA. It’s fresh in its own way and I just can’t quit!

Fortunately, drummers can be switched out without missing a beat. Kind of like like bass players ...😉j/k Such excellent melodies and song construction. I can't help but think the entire song would have been better served with clean vocals. I may be influenced by the recent Charlotte Wessels though. I'm still listening to that daily.

I might or might not be writing this comment with a seven spires t-shirt on, so this is also totally not a biased comment. Funnily enough, this is my least favorite of the 4 singles they put, and still is great. Thanks for reminding me I need to still buy the full album, not being on bandcamp is a pain. Drummer (Chris Dovas) was hired by Testament. Nothing else to the story, SS did a nice farewell show for him. I saw them in Munich and also remember the sound wasn't particularly great. It was not as terrible as you describe but certainly improvable, the guitar was barely hearable, voice was fine-ish.

Such an unknown band with a huge sound. My favourite track of theirs is Dark World. I defy you not to have it stuck in your brain if you ever get the chance to hear it. Always loved your reactions and only just realised I hadn't subbed.

Nope. It's definitely hedun. Not edane

it does rock and it's outstanding, I disagree with your review here. maybe your ear buds are not balanced well, I hear every layer crystal clear. I use a DAC to AKG headphones and everything seems to be one of their better mixes. KIMI's voice is clear and sounds awesome, the guitars sound good an d the drums driving and solid. the one thing I would say is a little missing in the mix is HARU's bass line, but she tends to blend well with NATSUMI's pocket. the growls are just right, not too much, nice accent to the song. IDK what your earbuds sound like, but I've listened to it on my car stereo, the album version mix is even better than the YT MV, ear buds, speaker bars, and my AKG K701 .....I think the mix is a lot better than most. everyone has different hearing preferences, and normally I would jump on a mix that is sub-par along with you. No mix is perfect and their live mixes are usually not great via KZfaq either, but I have heard they sound outstanding live in person. hopefully get to see them on this upcoming tour in early 2025. anyway. great song, thanks for the honest reaction. it's ok to have varying opinions especially on music which literally either resonates well or does not. (on many facets)

Best italian metal band 🤘🇮🇹

Van Williams is the drummer...he's awesome

Jeff and nevermore have been one of my biggest influences since the late 2000s ..I started listening to nevermore when I was like 14 and I started playing guitar that year..I'm 29 now

Always an enjoyable song from this band, mix aside. I looked back and your first review of them was pre-green screen days. That's a bit ago. Happy Independence day 😉

Last album was a real banger!!

Love this band to pieces and this one is a banger ps. Bloodcock is what every decent man should sport at least once a month

mate, OC have announced they're joining Bullet and Trivium on their tour starting Jan 2025 as special guests so i'll get to see them 😍 cant believe it, so in homage to this news i think you should do OC's The Shadowing if you don't know it already! it just hits different. all the best, from one very excited Rich haha.

i think this song would go off live

Great song from the Bridear ladies. I very much enjoyed Haru doing her harsh vocals.

I do think the vocals could have been a little louder as well. Kimi has a unique and fantastic voice. They went to Sweden to have Fredrik Nordström record this album for them. He has a reputation for working with some top tier bands. I think the album came out great overall.

Nice, up-tempo, catchy song. Wild enough to don't call it rock/hard rock. It's metal andvery melodic. I like it.

I agree. It is definitely not their best song, but still really good. I do love all their albums, but out of this Kyrie/Gloria (feat Julien from Benighted) and Ain't Death Grand are surely the better songs (with official video) to check out 🤔

Fantastic song/piece of music/symphony. This band seeing live is an unforgettable experience.

Good lord, I love this band! This is top form for them too. Every best bit is there. Fabio Bartoletti, taller than a tree Francesco Paoli, not a bumblebee Francesco Ferrini, Ferrini, Ferrini Eugene Ryabchenko the Drummer, doodily doo (ding dong doodily doodily doo) Francesco Paoli Explosion!!! Bloodclock! Bloodclock! Bloodclock! Bloodclock!

Excellent ! Saw these guys with Wolfheart earlier this year - outstanding show ! Let me express my gratitude once again for coming to Adelaide Fleshgod Apocalypse. We may not be worthy but we are certainly grateful. Yeah, my sweet spot is well and truly hit. Cheers Hedgy.

Point of order - former singer with Delain. 😉 This is much more accessible than the previous album. More Metal overall, but undeniably Charlotte. 🤘💜

I enjoyed it at first listen, but listened again with headphones and daaaaamn that was "filthy" bass. Loved the contrast between that heaviness and her voice

New Torrefy track Enslaved New World out now!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqd5bJOF173ReJs.htmlsi=2zGJjS-uQytwB86z

As a Dutchman, I think I don't sound silly when I say that I'm a little proud of the female metal singers we have. This is another example of a very good singer. The female singers we have here who are successful are mostly all classical. Very melodic. I agree with you where you say that it was musically quite heavy and that the voice is unexpectedly soothing. But it works.

These guys formed Nestor as teenagers but it was a garageband, a good one. then adult life put the band on hold for a lot of years. their comeback a few years ago was very successful and I love it. I am how ever a bit biased since their hometown is 20min away here, I have seen them live and they perform great.

I loved that! Every turn it took, and her voice carrying it, is amazing. This will be several go through several listens for me. I happily look forward to turning off the Core motorway.

That was Powerworlf alright.

Astonishingly good.....

Jup, you were right. I knew what was coming. I sat back and I had something like 'hmm'.

Welcome back Hedgy. A very cool song - lots of nice changes. I like the variety of mood and feeling. Well done Omega Zero !

Really beautiful. I love songs with clever and decipherable melodies. Great songwriting, performance, and production. Can used tissues be recycled?

Couldn't always understand the time signature. And than it gets interesting. Also, vey complex melodic arrangements. I love it when I have to listen multiple times to a song to understand it better. Compliments from a Feyenoord supporter 😅, but that's not important right now 😁🤘🍺

Thanks a lot for your accurate words to describe your truly sensations about us! And yes, I try to be relaxed 😂 Thanks again dude 🙏🏼😊 Cheers from Italy

Hedgy! Thank you so much for your kind words, Cursed By Light is the first of two singles (There's a little easter egg a the end of the video after the credits which will give you an idea about it). The singles are not part of an album, we're using those two songs to bridge between our first album (Ocean Paradox Chapter I) and the second since the band's line-up and sound has been drastically changed. We are so happy you liked Cursed By Light and we hope you'll dig the second one too, we'll be sure to send it to you as soon as it's out! Big hug from Italy!

They're on tour with Cradle of Filth in the autumn and I for one will be all over it.

That track is from the Plague Within, which is probably their second or third best album, after Icon and Faith Divides us. It's just pure gold.

Mikael Stanne (vocals) is unmistakable! Love Dark Tranquillity.

Enjoyed this. Great reaction

Get well soon.

Don't come in here while you're sick or we'll all get it.

I hope you start feeling better

Well, get well soon. See you metal brother.

Ahh, sorry to hear that. But get back when you can! There's really no big rush!

Awww, sorry to hear that Hedgy. Quick recoveries.

Gute Besserung. We'll just wait over there until you get better.

なに喋ってんのか全然分からん

Guitar player has a video tutorial for this entire song.... riffs, solos, everything. Does a great job of it, too. He really seems like a cool dude.
