Courtney’s line, “You keep telling us to die for something, yet you fight for nothing” Right before her yell, perfection 👏🏽

[@mrmittens18]

And then she was given the signature MTS “GO!”. Mmm chefs kiss

[@harveydjent_]

Courtney with that IWABO energy. And I’m not mad she didn’t sing the chorus because Booka absolutely killed it.

[@joemessina7720]

Booka plays the keys/melody while singing - pretty talented- and pretty :)

[@Papabogs1020]

I though she'll say "blegh!!" 🤣🤣

[@camrynd1646]

I love how Courtney’s screams continued throughout the song because both her screams and the lead of MTS’s (idk his name oops) meshed so damn well at the end

When nik forgets to talk about our girl Courtney killing it on the vocals…

[@SaintDorado]

When isn't she to be honest?

[@zerozeeros]

She was barely there tbh

[@SaintDorado]

@@zerozeeros Seems like a normal amount of vocals for feature. I mean there are features where the artist just gets to do one line. The breakdown intro or something. She did the second verse and backups later in the song. Actually quite a big part considering there are three vocalists in this song.

[@disco4535]

Uhh...basically every comment is saying that?

[@tylerball9600]

@@ulver1187 I disagree. Her voice complements Sean’s better than Courtney’s IMO. She is the perfect counter to his uncleans.

[@NexusKin]

I'm really sad that she left the band. Her voice was so amazing and reminded me a lot of Lacuna Coil. At least Jordan seems to be a good replacement.

[@nuts4414]

[@Flaverflaves]

This is probably my most favorite reaction video ever. I always find myself coming back to it when I want a good chuckle.

[@omegashinra7672]

The middle of this track with the guitarist going off and Courtney screaming reminds me of Protest The Hero if they were injected with some old school Architects type heavy. And that is literally the biggest compliment I could ever give a band I've never heard before. Holy balls.

First Make Them Suffer song for me. Loving the riffs, the chorus hits super well and I love the piano melodies. Absolutely killer track. Do most of their songs have piano melodies? That's one aspect I miss in a lot of metalcore.

[@stephenhowes6586]

Yes, there is lots of piano, their older stuff is more deathcore but their last album is a lot like this song.
