[@gatling216]

It's a little freaky how neatly he balanced that.

I'm impressed by how smooth the transition from Disturbed into Limp Bizkit and then into Linkin Park is.

[@chopsticks_8089]

and then somehow throwing in Korn too, this vocalist is insane

[@JaredtheRabbit]

With David of Disturbed doing the verses.

[@daedalus5070]

I think Nik could make a serious bag being a ghost writer / producer for a whole bunch of bands, seriously.

[@krisumusic]

He is releasing like 2 tracks a week and prob gonna keep it up the whole year. He will make the bag :) I'm releasing 3 songs a month and that is also quite rough to manage. I can't even imagine twice that :O

[@pixlplague]

It's 2004. This plays on the radio. It's a #1 on the weekly top 10 for AT LEAST a whole summer!!!!

[@GingerKidCustoms]

This goes SO HAAARRD!!!! I love how we start the first verse with a Powerman 5000/Static X vibe, then Linkin Park enters the chorus, then it all progresses with some Korn vibes, a sprinkle of Disturbed and Limp Bizkit in there and maybe some Mudvayne flavour in there? I FXCKING LOVE THIS!! Side note, when's a metalcore song called Copy Pasta coming? I think it needs to be done haha
