This is a great song in Metallica’s version. To rearrange it to acappella is truly brave. To perform it in this breathtaking way is almost inhuman. The addition of J.None is perfect.

Eli! 4:26 Geoff drops a low note while he does an epic hand gesture that makes it look like he created that earthquake with his voice-Geoffquake! VIOLAYNE! 4:41 Eli’s riff in unison with the violin 4:45 Geoff air-playing the bass guitar 5:09 The background vocals melt from “ooh” to "who we are" 5:16 The song returns to how it started with the bell tones while the tempo slows down In each instance of the bell tones, one person is not singing. I think Geoff arranged it this way so that at any point in the song, the 4 people can do the bell tones in the background while the other person is soloing. I love how at the beginning, Cesar sings the highest harmonies with his breathy tones. But as the intensity of the song goes up, Eli takes over the highest harmonies using his rock tenor voice This is a masterpiece of an arrangement-I have no words to describe how amazing this is. Geoff brings us on a journey as he slowly builds the energy of the song to the climax. What a way to start the new year!

Eli has reached escape velocity. Aside from stellar production (as per usual), flawless execution (as always), and genius arrangement (thanks Geoff), it's Eli that hit this one into orbit for me. Wonderful!

My dad being a metal fan and me a voiceplay fan this was such a pleasant surprise. My father passed in september and i am sure he would absolutely love it too! Brought me to tears!

So sorry for your loss. I hope every time you listen to this you feel your dad smiling down at you (and maybe throwing the horns 🤘).

Same thing as me, lot my godfather, his favorite rock singer is:Bon Jovi, one new song by Bon Jovi is called Bed with Roses because it’s remind me of him.
