‘The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was’ is(in my opinion) one of the most emotion provoking song(s) that any Metalcore band has created(From what I’ve been exposed to anyways). Of course, it’s simply a game of opinions and I respect you being honest about yours as always. Butttttt, to me that song is just an absolute swell of emotion from start to finish & I’m so happy they Implemented some more of those beautiful vocal melodies into this track as well✨ Keep up the good, honest work brotha 💜

The Gojira in studio "Global Warming" performance is chilling. If you watch it performed, while reading the lyrics it really can be an emotional Rollercoaster. They care deeply about the song. So much so that they don't play it live because it ruins the vibe.

Incredible progression in their songwriting skills. That post-breakdown bridge into the raspy croon into the higher falsetto note. Markus was hitting a lower-octave version of the falsetto at the beginning of every previous chorus, but they held the bigger moment until the end for more impact. Bravo. I love Heroine and I love the Dark Pool, but if Thornhill was going to go for the more shoegaze-y sound this is how I wish they did it. Still melodic, ambient, and emotional but lots of technicality still.

Now i need a Split Ep of Holding Absence and Invent Animate :) Honestly this song is now my favorite. I can't choose which is the best out of 3 other singles though, it's very hard because of difference... This band has got everything that i love about this genre. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲 is a very good modern metalcore song and honestly it's very unique, like i've never heard anything like this before personally. 𝐄𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐮𝐦 has the best chorus in my opinion and i really enjoy it. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 sounded like early Northlane to me, but at the same time it got that Silent Planet vibe and still unique in it's own way. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫 sounds like if Thornhill is mixed with Holding Absence and some Northlane-like stuff, but way more emotional.

In reply to your review: I totally get where you're coming from bro! I absolutely adored The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, but I've never really been hooked with any of their previous work. Immolation of Night I thought was SUPER overhyped. So many people saying it was like the best song they've released, the heaviest they've done, etc. and I just wasn't impressed with it AT ALL. This song is a lot more like The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, and I love it all the more for it (aka, I actually enjoyed this one). I desperately hope to love the new album like that EP (Which by the way was my #1 release of all of 2021); if the album trends more towards this style, it'll finally win me over in a way their first 3 albums never worked for me.

I rarely cry because I straight up hate it but this song always makes me cry. Most likely due to the incredibly sad topic of the song, mixed with the rush of doomed memories that force themselves into my head like ink into a water cup. It definitely is overwhelming at times.
