This is basically a more technical Behemoth song with deathcore vocals and a snazzy synth solo. Weirdly working.

"synthwave" "gospel" "tech death" ah just make Zeal and Ardor but tech death instead of black metal "shoegaze" "emo" *oh...*

Tyty!

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

this is utterly crazy how well it worked out. Should make an album of songs like this and make it available to be purchased just for fun.

[@Caipiranha89]

As impressive as this is, I'm a bit sad you pretty much ignored the emo part. Would have been amazing if you randomly added a 30 seconds to mars style bridge right after the synth solo just to go back to growling right after.
