This album shows how damn important bass is. I'm the lead guitarist in my band and I made our producer turn the bass up higher in our final mix than he wanted to originally. It makes everything else sound soooo much better. Good job JFAC :)

[@TheLeeham1]

What's the name of your band?

The Labyrinth by Transluce. It's on iTunes, Spotify, Xbox Music, CDBaby and so on! :)

@@prpwnage9296 Which just would kinda prove his point. Although I can hardly agree in just summarizing any performance as shit. Maybe you havent't found your style. I spent a lot of time playing in bands I couldn't perform right and it's mostly about being content and feeling the urge to practise.

[@Moumszk]

Bass game is strong.

[@hugalahugala5182]

Sick bass line and one of the best intro in the metal history.

[@Naught359]

You're out your god damn mind with that bold statement.

[@aerotheproto]

To those of you who think that Johnny is draggin this band down: His vocals are probably some of the most unique I've heard. You could probably name a ton of bands and they all have similar vocals but when you say Job for a cowboy, you instantly know what they sound like.

[@Thydeepestfear]

Seriously. He has some of the rawest vocals I've heard in a long time. The power alone in his lows sound absolutely demonic even by death metal standerds.

[@Chaosweaver667]

I like the vocals but I disagree with your statement. It could possibly be because I haven't listened to much more than a few songs from these guys, and since I'm not used to his voice, it sounds similar to other bands of the same genre. The same effect as someone who hardly listens to metal thinks it's all screaming and the same. That being said I will definitely be getting their new album when it's released.

[@BrutalFuJay]

Even though I'm not a huge fan of them I totally agree. Johnny Davy is a true talent.

[@CrownOfNails]

So goddamn true... Johnny has some of the best vocals in metal period.

[@barrywood8249]

Indeed. Johnny sounds straight up fucking evil. To be able to go from his guttural lows to the highs he does within one vocal line is remarkable. Not an easy thing to do. He's got several levels of voices and that is soooo much better than the guys that have one sound to their voice and that's it. I don't really see what people are bitching about, but hey, opinions vary, and that's cool. Can't wait to hear this whole album.

[@evelia1156]

It’s 2023 and this song/album still slaps. We need more JFAC. Come back please 🙏

I think this new type of music even makes John Davie's vocal style sound better.

It's because Warwick's have a distinct sound. Mudvayne uses a Thumb 5 and JFAC used a Dolphin for this.

[@quantumappliance]

Any elitist I talk to who still groups this band in deathcore after years of not being deathcore and only a little bit of music as deathcore will be directed to this song as it is without a doubt death metal.

[@2112mrrushfan]

[@ericweelie9465]

Im surprised jfac didnt get any more views.. Such fantastic song writing and talent.. I feel like because they started out as a deathcore, they couldnt get the respect they deserved in the world of death metal purists and at the same time they lost the deathcoreheads because they switched style... I will forever love them and miss their live shows

[@KingNekro]

The hate that some death metal "elitists"(aka virgins) had for any band that was currently or formerly (even remotely) related to deathore was some of the most pathetic shit anyways. People acting like it was a war or something and you had to pick a side. They didn't even want to give bands a chance if they had any relation to deathcore. They were so closed minded. And it's ironic because deathcore was basically the closest sounding genre to death metal. They're really not that different. I mean by definition, at it's "core" all deathcore was just death metal with metalcore elements. And there was so many different types of deathcore. Not all deathcore was created equal. Some were good, some were bad, some leaned more towards metalcore, some leaned more towards death metal. But in the minds of the elitists all deathcore bands were identical. Shit there was a lot of deathcore bands that barely even had any core elements at all. I'd say the majority of the deathcore bands I used to listen to leaned more on the death metal side of things. They just had more frequent breakdowns than death metal typically has. But people wouldn't even give those bands a chance. As someone who enjoyed both, I didn't get it. Was a tiny amount of metalcore elements or some chugging breakdowns here and there really that big of a deal to the point where those bands deserved to get hated on or their entire catalogue of music completely written off as being dogshit? Like you said, it was a damn shame especially for bands like JFAC who only started as a deathcore band then switched genres completely. They released 1 deathcore demo and 1 deathcore EP, then got rid of every single band member aside from the vocalist and were a completely different band afterwards playing real (and quite good) death metal. I can't understand for the life of me why they still got hate. Probably because people didn't even give them a chance. Oh well, I bet those elitists missed out on bands that they would have really enjoyed if they actually gave the band a fair chance, but they missed out due to ignorance and feeling the need to pick a side for no reason.

[@ryanschindler923]

Part of the reason they never got big after this is cause they didn't really announce this album and they really didn't tour for it or promote it, not like most bands would. It was very much a quiet drop. They just dropped this fuckin bomb on us and that was pretty much it. That's why there's practically zero live footage of them playing this stuff. I'v def had people that wouldn't listen to this because they thought it was just more slamcore stuff like their first album and i tried to explain how awesome this is that it's essentially a proggy death metal masterpeice and people just don't wanna hear it.

[@mathieufredette3157]

I have to say, on the past few records, this band has been steadily increasing in musicianship and songwriting, and it's cool to see. I love the dynamic beginning that's reminiscent of Intronaut and how the solo has a moody post-apocalyptic feel to it; the bass being higher in the mix is a nice touch as well!
