hi joão, great cover as always. i love that tone so much btw, you've really honed in your sound over the past year and i'm really proud to see how far you've come. i know the future is bright for you my guy😁. also, idk if you would. but if you'd like, you should check out (and possibly cover) a band called Pierce the Veil. they're not as heavy as some of the progressive metal bands you cover, but i'm sure you can find a song of theirs that you'd like. anyways, have a good day man
