The instrumental aspect of this band is just amazing. Very raw and pissed I like it. The vocals are okay, takes some time getting used to. Deff dig the lows, very interesting pitch and tone. The highs aren't bad but idk. Otherwise this pretty dope and I don't really fuck with bands like this as much as I used to. Too many carbon copies. Hope to see this band make it far tho
*Vocals:* Dude on vox is absolutely killin it I mean his highs make it sound like he's being murdered every time he screams in pain I can really feel his ache and distraught. But the lows on the other hand are fucking belligerent and pissed off the to core they really convey to a sense of anger, agony, frustration, struggle, and just being fed up with life. *Guitars:* the instrumentation to me is filled with self loathing, doubt, being lost, hopelessness, and give me a sense of being in a perpetually manic state of mind. The wacky twangs that flow in the background are like Korn and Yüth Forever but so much darker and cynical. I can hear the influence of bands like Darknet, Kingmaker, Yüth Forever, Widow, Vctms, and Introvert. If those bands toured together I would die a happy man. All in all this album for me is a 9/10 for that I am extremely impressed and pleased with. Since I've only ranked two other albums from my life and the two that happened to be a perfect 10/10 would be Freudian Slip and 10 Code by Villains. Great work guys make me proud to be part of the Texas scene which is blowing up now!
This is the best album I've ever heard in my life. It has touched me more then any other piece of art has before. I greatly appreciate you boys creating this.
Instant favorite, you never hear any sincerity in these bands popping up lately but holy shit this is right up there with 10 code. Angry, pissed, hopeless, dread, pessimism.... I'm obsessed with this guys lows, they're so ugly and gritty and fueled with hate, makes my heart smile :')
14:24 is legit something straight from Villians and I can't place it. Any help with the song? Also, I'm not knocking Still_bloom, I'm just saying it instantly brought be to a song from Villains. Downer_ is sick.
Thankyou for incorporating so much noise+dissonance in your music surrounding all the chugs. I too wish to release some unharmonious shit once I get a mic for a solo project.
Okay musically this is tight. But this vocalist really needs to just stop, and find a new talent to pursue. Vocals are fucking awful. Straight up awful
