Same here! Really hoping the other songs of the EP are like this, only thing was missing for me was a Breakdown but the tones and specially the drums are incredible!
Genre of music is a very complex and personal thing. If Hazuki from Lynch calls it nu metal himself. That's great. But there are nu metal elements. This still contains influences from early 2000's Visual kei / metal bands from Japan. In the early 2000's D'espairs Ray, The Gazette, Dir en grey, Girugamesh , Kagerou ( an extremely special band who deserve much more attention) were all incredibly influential. I'm not trying to argue at all just putting forth my point of view. I love this song and Lynch are amazing! They aren't my favourite band but after listening to the full EP i realise i need to listen to them a lot more
Also non musicians and musicians are going to listen in a very different way . I'm not trying to be a snob at all but I definitely listen differently as a guitarist who has played for 17 years. I'm usually analysing the chord progression and listening to the production and listening out for guitar parts whether rhythm or lead that contain a motif or theme. It also intrigues me to hear how dfferent bands of similar genre play metal music totally differently! However I love to just listen for enjoyment too because that is a lot more fun ! I hope I don't offend either of you. :) rock on and keep being awesoem
