Alluvial was originally slated to have a vocalist - Wes said that at the time he just sucked at arrangement and kind of left no room for a singer in the original release.
Reminds me of a mix of Opeth and Rivers of Nihil and Killswitch engage. Definitely going to be on repeat for the next month or so. This song kicks ass!
Another masterful and fresh take on what death metal can be. Infectious grooves. Hypnotic chorus. Brutal syncopated vocal lines supporting. Fluid and concise lead work to round it out. The identity of this sound seems so fully realized AND it nods to Gojira. Wes' singing exemplifies the whole vibe so damn well. Most anticipated release for the year. Big love and big praises for this work
Everything in the shot is metal. The middle of the woods at night, the dark clothes, the long hair, the guitars...and then theres a cute blue sparkle drum set lmao
Wes is a freaking good composer. 1st time I've heard one of his songs was "ten billion years" during his Faceless era and bro, what a fucking good song! This one is ever better! Genius!
My mind is completely blown. Hearing Wes sing is so crazy. Dude has such a powerful voice and damn that whole song is so epic especially when the blast beats hit during the solo!
Speechless. If I were to run the radio stations, THIS would be the type of song you’d hear 3 times an hour everyday for a year. This is MY type of music!
This is absolutely phenomenal! the vocals are so good. His melodic cleans are gritty yet soaringly powerful and the heavy vocals are crushing. All 3 singles they've put out are already creating a recipe for Metal album of the year 🙌 there is no way this is not in the top 3 of the year by December, I'm calling it now.
Everything about this song showcases all the vast emotions of hauntingly numb/calm then straight to rage that I've been going through. Fighting some resurfaced demons that I thought were gone. I'd rather feel anger then submit to the weakness that dejection throws you in. Playing this song often currently. Such a well composed track and I'm obsessed with the vocals.
Anybody else kind of pissed that Wes has been hiding this incredible voice after all these shred videos?... Like, this is extremely powerful, his voice matches his playing in how they move me, I love it. 🤘
This is exactly how I wish I could sing. Feels like you either have that tone of voice or you don't though. Of course Wes had to be a phenomenal vocalist too lol
This is what PERFECT songwriting is. Not a single part that doesn't fit, is overdone or could be improved in my opinion. This is honestly one of the best songs I have EVER heard. Wow, much respect to you guys!
All of Alluvials stuff never disappoints. Glad the sound is expanding out with these sick vocals. Definitely going to be one of my top albums I can see.
I've listened to this track like a hundred times already. So fucking epic and meaningful. Can't wait to hear the whole album. Wes is a great composer and the band is as tight as it can be. I truly hope they tour through Europe.
I've been listening to metal for 30 years, always looking for new stuff and I only found these guys a couple months ago. Don't think they are very well known at all, but the individuals members are well known within the metal community.
Wow lucky you man. Gotta say tho, this is top notch . Do not expect to find a lot of metal the same quality as this, or even in the same universe as this masterpiece.
I just went through their CD solid stuff. This song sticks out like a Sore thumb though by far the best track on that CD. But I will say their single named off the CD has a Bad ass outro. Can't wait to see them live definitely a song I'd love to hear live to appreciate it properly
What a refreshing style, beautiful vocals, awesome vocal line in the chorus. The bassline brings so much life into the already stunning guitar chords. This is how music should be done.
this rips so hard. I think I've listened to it a few hundred times in the past week.. the double tracking of the vocals is so, SO fucking good. everything about this is... goddamn.
FINALLY....Manly singing followed by even manlier growls...a solid combination I feel which has been severely lacking in metal. Theres been far too much of this "oil and vinegar" combo with brutal growls and screams but the WHINIEST singing I've EVER heard...just rips the balls right off the song. Tremendous consistency and flow to this song. I personally love death and extreme metal but I've been waiting for a metal sound I can "chill out" with and I feel like these guys pretty much heard and answered my request. Thank you guys, this was my first experience hearing you and I look forward to hearing much much more 🤘🏼
Imo, the best single they’ve released so far. The riffs (that chorus!). The solo. The songwriting. Haven’t been this excited for a metal record in a long time.
This is what the fuck I'm talkin' bout, boys!! Discovering this on my birthday has been the best present! Been hanging out for something like this! Always been a massive fan of Wes' playing... He's like the modern Era dime, to me. Great tune, massive chorus and solo... vocals are on point too. WOW, man. Epic. Pre-ordered.
Perferct in every single way, from the LA Custom Ibanez Iceman to Wes' Voice to the percussive vocal growling to the flowing bass lines to Wes' unassuming masterfull musicianship, Wes is the introvert guiratist's hero...
Quite impressive sound, would love a full album of this in all honesty. However the new album so far is sounding magnificent, this was a sweet surprise!
These video releases have successfully driven a stake through the heart of thr vampiric MTV!!! The intro guitar sounds so bizarre and creepy----but, the song is powerful and pretty intense. I like the melodic hook, too. Great production and song. Heavy and hauntingly sweet.
Love this kind of surprises, I usually don't really like the "classic" metal like this anymore, absolutely love this song from start to finish, everything hits home for me
My first listen to this band, Wow! High level stuff! Those clean vocals are goosebumps 10000000💵 it’s a «mix» of my top 5 clean vocalist’s in one voice kind of thing🤷🏻♂️ Not taking away anything from the other vocalist, thats pretty pretty rare to find 2 vocalist at this level in the same band 🙋🏻♂️✅ The drums, bass, guitars, perfect, punchy full and master level. Thank you for this song🙏🏻
Omg that guitarist has an absolutely amazing voice! Unpopular opinion? I want more of him! Dgmw. The lead singer has a good voice but damn that lead guitarist is good!
This song pumps me up. This Is what it would sound like if your grandma baked a pumpkin pie & filled it with tacks for your whole family on thanksgiving.
Im currently having the opposite experience of most of this comment section, everyones like "whoa he can sing?" But this is the first song ive ever heard of theirs so i just spent half an hour trying to find another song where they sound like this because im fucking IN LOVE with this sound.
