@NOVICEEDM Год назад

I think I've figured out why your music sounds so much more complicated than everything else... It's not only your flawless play style in these tracks you make, but it's the Japanese style chrord progressions that you incorporate into everything you write. Anime-esque. Good stuff.

@ViktorSarge Год назад

I'm so happy you are fleshing the tracks out with full instrumentation these days. Epic track that any band would be lucky to have written.

@user-eg6vz8ip9t Год назад

Gave me kind of Animals as Leaders kinda vibe. Great piece of work by the way! Nice transitions)

@albertmiller3082 Год назад

It isn’t just that you make doing this stuff look easy - you do, of course, somehow - it’s that you look like you’re having more fun doing it than should be legal anywhere on this planet. While you perform. Bringing the flawless technique is one thing. Inspired composition is yet another. But presenting it with a sly twinkle in your eye makes it special. For me, anyway.

@bencooper6983 Год назад

@johndisoto3782 Год назад

Wow!! Incredible, how does Charles manage to create an original banger every time. Like how is he so good in many rhythmic and stylistic varieties.

@DyingBobby Год назад

Sikth were the first modern recognizable band to use this low tuning (on some songs) and the low G# tuning in E flat (D#) standard can be referred to as the Sikth tuning. The birth of the modern (more prog based) djent sound (Not referring to the first wave with Meshuggah.) Kind of sounds like them.
