Another song you should check out is Darkbloom by We Came as Romans and Brand of Sacrifice. Definitely not a collab you would expect. But it turned out excellent!!!

[@eti165]

I'm amazed by ABR's consistency over 2 freaking decades! Their earliest music still holds up today and they somehow keep improving

[@StevenZissimos]

For real. They're honestly the best metalcore band to ever do it.

[@kadajtribal8532]

I definitely agree. ABR is without a doubt an amazing band.

[@anthonyyoungblood7557]

Yep. Been listening almost the whole time and the old stuff and the new stuff blends perfectly on a binge

[@Awesom7607]

ABR and TDWP makes me incredibly happy with their consistency

[@andrewbradford6520]

Forreal. Like wtf. Maybe I should find jesus

[@martytheluddy]

Even after Will showed in a couple of videos how he does his vocals it's inconprehensible how those noises can come from a human

[@metalheadblues]

Any musician can practice there instrumental for years and get good but vocals are different , you can improve but its either you have it or not

[@MasonzeroDigitalWorks]

@@metalheadblues Eh, sort of. There is some biology to it, but anyone can be a good singer if they have a good teacher and stick to it. Most people don't have the time, or don't want to commit to it that much, though. It's a lot of boring exercises, just like working out any muscle.

[@VanskickGianniLOrd]

U should listen to lorna shore or infant annihilator that is crazy 😂

[@WastelandWarrior1979]

@@VanskickGianniLOrdI was going to say something about AI because Will supposedly got help from them & Eddie from SS

[@gibberishface]

It’s just practice. Harsh vocals are fairly easy to learn. Singing is the hard one lol

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

This track already considered to be ABR's darkest track to date, but never thought it could get much darker by adding Will Ramos(Lorna Shore) in it.

[@jp658-f4y]

Seriously though! This is easily one of their heaviest and adding that extra layer is insane!

[@Cryotyde]

Yup, this is definitely their darkest song in my opinion, at least for the first 2/3. The song then picks up a more positive tone and lyrical direction towards the end though.

[@comfortbetrayal]

Just his Line , reached the peak

[@TidePodsRFood]

Thats *really* weird considering how uplifting it is. God is pissed, comes down to kill us Is taken aback by our indomitable spirit & determination to be the shepherds of this world Allows himself to be slain in our greatest moment And disappears, leaving us the masters of our own destiny.

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

@TidePodsRFood Probably because darkened sounding the instrumental is. And the addition of Will Ramos made it darker. But, that's just me, dude. 😮

[@Fragnar13]

positive Christian vibes, with the darkness that Lorna shore privileges us with. MASTERPIECE. TALENT>differences

[@TidePodsRFood]

If you haven't already, check out Oh, Sleeper. Lol or Powerwolf. Skillet if you really want your Christian Metal Christian.

[@LikeMoths2Flame]

[@LSinRostro]

🤤

[@mikecraig7456]

Everyone stating Will doesn’t add anything to this is wild. This reminds me of the dual vocals they did in Carpe Diem. Wills voice is meant to add another dimension to the sections where the darker voice is spoken. And I’m all here for it. This was already a banger before, it’s a whole new level now. 🔥

[@mikecraig7456]

Also, I see a ton of reactors and comments missing the fact that Will also comes in at the 1:19 mark of the song. He comes in at 1:19, 3:26, 7:36.

[@ghostof1898]

Will def contributed a ton to this song and I'm all for it.

[@sicdemon7177]

I'm about to ruin it. Sorry for asking for more but, Imagine hearing both their voices/screaming at the same time for certain parts. Kind of like Signal Fire from Killswitch.

[@coleG112]

The shift to major around 5:00 is always my favorite part of ABR songs tbh

[@rasmachris94]

Not familiar with ABR so it was a bit surprising but it's nice, a positive shift for resolution is so nice

[@bastarthur]

To be honest, I haven't listened to any ABR since the release of Constellations. That was more than a decade ago. Today this song appears on my Spotify Release Radar and I was blown away! I was like, wow, I wonder how much I've been missing for all these years.

The collab I was not expecting to hear this morning. Ramos adds extra 🔥 🤘🏻

[@TheCultureCrusader]

Absolutely awesome. This song was already the standout off this album, but now it's even more insane. Forgot I was listening to a new version of it, and then Will came in and scared the hell out of me. I absolutely love the lyrics of this song - the story it tells, the message behind it - but I always felt like it went a little under-appreciated by most fans that I'd seen online. Hopefully this version changes that.

[@theunravel5420]

It took me a couple of days to prepare to listen to this work of art. I still can't believe that August Burns Red and Will Ramos were in the same song. The original is beautiful. But this version is gold.

I saw “Will Ramos” and I did not hesitate to click. Excellent work on this my dudes. And for the critics, I get that you want to provide feedback, but make it actually helpful, not just “meh, it’s not a banger”. Music that makes it out of the studio and into our ears is a banger, and the collaborations are so essential for diversifying a band’s sound. Sit back, listen, and enjoy the music. Be thankful that we are allowed to listen to such awesome music.
