So gespannt auf euer Album hoffentlich bald neues Bandmerchandise

[@Marius_ae]

This shit is sick, i love the Wintersun influence

[@ZODD__]

The solo and melody is blackned as hell

[@SunShine37194]

Amazing song 🤘😎🤘 my score 10/10)

[@felicitydarhk2818]

insane song guys and brilliant vocals :) cheers !!

[@Soviet_Saguaro]

I enjoy the hell out of this. Those clean vocals really elevated the song too for me

[@AnimetalViking]

It's like if Wintersun and early Equilibrium fused with Lorna Shore.

[@psstimbatman6646]

The whole LS comparison seem pretty lame to. Enough is enough to me and they brought these symphonic/black elements before the whole "Pain Remains" thing. The song is fire.

[@marcoviaretti4393]

yeah, blackened deathcore has been around for like ten or more years now, it just happens to be cool now particularly after the Lorna EP (which is great) But now everytime there are black vibes with blast beat everyone is saying Lorna, come on, this is just plain folk black, nothing similar to what Lorna are doing

[@ripit.3457]

If anything, this song reminds me more of Æther Realm

[@josephwashington2096]

I'll be labeled as a Lorna dick rider but to be fair, Lorna's been doing very blackened deathcore since Psalms.. and even the EP before. Ya know, before people even knew who they were lol. Love this Mental Cruelty record. Grew on me with every listen. So good.

[@Renix]

vocalist breathes .. "Hmm i think lorna shore do the same"

[@Kotsoros37]

Wow this was insane, if this is a sign of things to come with them in their new direction I am hyped! Love the ensiferum/winter sun folk metal vibes (which also has that power metal sound your saying) mixed with the Lorna shor death core vibe, definitely makes them stand out more than their older stuff!

[@warriorsponnie8467]

As a diehard fan of both wintersun, powermetal and more extreme metal, this feels very fresh. Loved their last album but this sounds god damn amazing. Looking forward to their new album!

[@branm25]

Maybe im crazy but im getting some old Children of Bodom vibes from the melodies in the melodic bits. I dig it a lot.

[@Kidcrowley]

the synths especially

[@Seraphim013]

This song makes alot sense for the album, I feel like it's an evolution from what the band was in the first couple songs then evolves with new styles like this song to show they're changing to something new. One of my favorite albums in a long time

[@TheXMemnochx]

For me it has a huge Wintersun vibe. Not that much LS.

[@cesarsanchez7937]

The breakdown for me is a mix between lorna shore breakdown and the breakdown of última hypocrita (the previous song of their previous álbum of mental cruelty).

[@fleischtomate2435]

hate it how everything is compared to lorna shore .... the whole last album "a hill to die upon" does the style beautiful months before to the hellfire was released -.-

[@cyanihilist]

The new vocalist and the style of this song are really doing it for me. I wasn't a huge fan of their previous stuff, but this is great.

[@toyotaecw]

Apparently in deathcore now every time you fire a controversial or scumbag vocalist your band levels up.

[@yourWronglol]

That's true asf☠️ but at least cj is doing an good job at his new stuff

[@blainegoodwin6365]

I criticized the band a lot when they fired Lucca cause there was zero info on the internet about the situation and sounded a lot like another #metoo event (as the case with CJ)

[@2174863]

I don’t think this is as good as their past album imo, it’s cool and new but i wouldn’t listen to it that much

[@silentssnakes]

where do u hear lorna shore in this?😂 Its basically wintersun went deathcore

[@galacticriminalx]

🔥🤘😈🤘🔥

[@sanskaraunofficial]

This stuff is very wintsun, early Children of Bodom vibes, I love seeing that style in modern deathcore. Very sick combination.

[@Laros82]

Oh shit so it was this Song I caught the end off!!! Dude this Song is so good, loved it on second listening even more 😍 whoever said Wintersun ish was Spot on👏 Epicness over 9k

[@metalhead2221]

With different vocals a lot of this could pass for a Wintersun track lmao

[@Star.Chaser]

The songs a poem written by the guitarist sang in old German. After listening to this album it beats out the pain remains easily. Lorna Shore does have songs like this, soulless existence is the main one though still less symphonic no real breakdown and verses that sound like they could be in a dragon force song instrumentally. The sound and production is because it’s the same producer,

[@adamant_3337]

Dig this, giving me some cool Wintersun vibes🤘🏻

[@maxmariotti277]

So glad to see these guys back. This new vocalist sounds great!!!

[@killersmentality911]

Loving the vocals.

[@The_KlaVra]

For me its like Folk in the first song, then transforms into Power Death Symphonic with a tinge of Black Metal and a drop of death core... Its like THE EUROPEAN Lorna Shore

[@chasecaroline5422]

I get Celtic Deathcore/black metal vibes from the first part of the song!

[@victorferreira5852]

That is not even close to BM.

[@chasecaroline5422]

@@victorferreira5852 yes it is, it has some elements of BM

[@alexr6913]

@@victorferreira5852 ever heard about Blackened Deathcore? (Black Metal + Deathcore combination)

[@eastwaters4082]

I’ll take this Wintersun over the current Wintersun 😂

[@yanngelos9932]

This is nowhere near a hill to die upon, which is still the best " blackened " deathcore album of recent memory...by a mile !!

[@2174863]

A wake in providence’s last album was pretty good id say its close

[@tyr8264]

Idk man worm shepherd ritual hymn is pretty fucking good

[@yanngelos9932]

@@tyr8264 totally agree worm sheperd are very good, i just thought their tracks were not very cohesive on the album, idk kinda felt like some compositions sounded way older than others , sorry i don't really know how to explain it...but i really like them and their vocalist is fantastic, one of the future great imo

[@yanngelos9932]

@@2174863 yeah it's close fantastic album too ! Way better than the lorna one imo...but it was kinda slept on...

[@nvck9297]

If they did a Lorna style breakdown with some melody in the back (similar to the ....AIRTN title track) I think it would fit better and contribute more to the track overall. That said, still a fantastic tune.

[@alexr6913]

its still better than Lorna Shore bruh

[@gunlean7738]

New Amity dude..get onnit!!

[@C12344]

I love it!

[@ramiroquiroga2949]

Everyone complaining about the breakdown and comparing it to Lorna. Enjoy the music, this is fucking lovely

[@Shperung]

some harmony similar like "Wintersun"

[@redduskironsky1058]

Ok but can someone think of aaaaany other band this song resembles other than "sounds like Lorna Shore"🫣this sounded more like Wintersun first

[@bigbunn_]

I love this song! If they keep up this sound it could surpass the previous album which is still the gold standard for blackened deathcore imo. Yes the breakdown was definitely LS, but the synth in this song makes up for it. The synth/orchestra and guitar work does not feel like LS and makes this really stand out in my opinion.

[@Steven-ex3ne]

The breakdown had a great outro, but needed a smoother entrance. Great song though.

[@jetlagjonny]

You need to check out the new (John) candy music video. You're in it lol

[@thisendswhenwesayno2861]

Cant shut this shit off . Epic song !

[@ShredAstair]

left hand path is their best song

[@DollyDagger0420]

🔥🤘🖤

[@tiffanyalberti2029]

Please react to the Symphonic Metal Band Eternus Song: Phantom Chain

[@thewretch4081]

That's their best song 100% loved it

[@hithere-haveagreatday7609]

Not a fan of the intro song, I aint a folk fan at all. But Symphony of a Dying Star is a great song, I actually like the genres mixte there. Also, you shouldnt sleep on the new To The Grave album, its really really good ! Havent been obsessed with a deathcore album since The Chosen last year ! Would be awesome to see a reaction to at least the last single, Found Footage, which is different for them.

[@whitechapelmusic123]

great review, just don't agree with loran shore part. Lorna shore isn't the only band allowed to do that sound, it's a whole genre. Just blackened/melodic Deathcore.

[@xRamZx]

Children of Lorna Bodom...Shore

[@babou_1109]

where is lucca ? ;c

[@kousei4999]

Ain't no way bro compared them to lorna shore

[@harveydjent_]

It’s funny that as much as I like deathcore and breakdowns, the breakdown is my least favorite thing about the song. It’s fun, but in this instance it felt a bit forced and very out of place. Overall, though, the song’s great. Big fan of the Wintersun-y vibe, Lukas sounds sick, and I’m very curious to hear more.

[@allshallperish35]

This song is an easy 10/10 for me without that breakdown, it really interrupted the flow of the song imo

[@hurpdurp916]

That was the most forced breakdown I've ever heard, the rest of the song is fucking fantastic though.

[@Azrael669]

[@lolmee2696]

not perfect but finally some fresh and interesting ideas. just for that ill follow these guys

[@jimmyjames6636]

The more I listen to this, it sounds like a Lorna song . Key changes and all. Great song though.

[@nuclearmantis666]

There's too much effects on his vocals. with the ex vocalist too could be more grand sounds kinda lofi to me

[@ddemonology]

Good song, but I think the former Mental Cruelty was better when Lucca was still around. But accusations, you can't undo them
