Brian has a fucking sick vocal style, and bro, in mistakes like fractures, when he screams "and God only knows" that's some range dude, don't sell yourself short.

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

I really liked Knocked Loose from the very first second I heard them. I had no problem with Bryan's vocals, you can really hear the desperation in his screams. It's a great release listening to them and it rather gets rid of my angst than creates it. It has that eerie Silent Hill feel to it all so I understand what they mean though. Can't wait for the new album. Great interview!

[@ofmiceandhass8300]

i totally get the anxiety inducing music, there's this part right after the breakdown in blinding faith with toned down voices and sounds and everytime i listen to that part with headphones i get freaked out bc it sounds as if it were the seismic alarm going off in the exterior (i live in mexico city where we are VERY prone to earthquakes)

I hadn't heard Knocked Loose until Nik's reaction videos of the recent singles and it took a couple of weeks for me to warm up to them but Bryan's vocals just kept reappearing in my head.

That’s basically what pantera was doing in the 90s until it was apparent they are the main act and then it’s everyone else
