Ey thank you!

[@danvasart]

Sounds awesome. Thall and djent are so diversive as genres, that trying to be "anti" -them still kinda sounds like it. But who fucking cares, this shit is really really good. I do get bits of post rock offerings like Mogwai or GSYBE in some of the tone and riffs, beautiful

[@Zainmhz]

Thanks! And yeah, I didn’t mean to write this as literal “anti” (that would be pop i guess lol). Just tried to do the opposite, like play it on higher tuning and bring upbeat vibes unlike thall that is usually dark, creepy sounding

[@augmented2nd666]

Production quality over actual quality, we live in a garbage time period, there so much VST and plugin going on in this it sounds like AI. Cool playing concepts, but do it without a DAW and a ton of processing.

Of course! Been listening to some of their stuff

[@Sylkis89]

A mix of post rock, maybe some shoegaze, a bit of pop punk? but with djenty low tuned sound. It's probably the best djenty/thall-ish thing I have heard in years. Is actually musical and stands out instead of being just a generic cacophony that yeah these were interesting 10 years ago but that was a dead end that should have ended back then instead of becoming the majority of what young guitarists want to do nowadays (besides polyphia and similar).

[@Zainmhz]
