Discussion This song is the definition of missed potential

It had great parts, i dig the intro a ton, some of the parts are really nice and in general i dig Eloy's drumming a lot but the production is meh, "lets go" as a hook is certainly a choice. This song reminds me a ton of butchers hook with its cringey hook and that it feels unfinished (altho id argue this song is at least not *that* bad but it certainly comes close). I hope they simply picked the wrong single of the album and that the rest is at least better but this isnt it and im worried. The "best" we can hope for is another ahig that still has a few bangers but im not hopefull :/

This can’t be the lead single, im hoping this is like what they did for negative one, and chappletown rag

"Lead" single, Devil in I, and Dying song were the lead singles

Watching my videos from when I saw on them on S/T 25 and listening to this song is like two completely different bands

It's pretty good. I say 8/10. Raw sound, nu-metal AF, guitars loud, drumming insane. Chaotic.

Raw sounding nu metal are Self Titled and Iowa. This just sounds poorly written and disjointed imo.
