This band keeps releasing really good songs and one of my favorite parts about them is the atmospheric production they have. This type of production is definitely my favorite because I like Ambient and I like Heavy/Energic music, the only thing that I like more is when all of these elements are perfectly blended and balanced together, which only empowers the whole thing
Song is really decent, sounds new to Boundaries and I appreciate it, however...
I don't like that mix at all, and I know it might be an annoying thing to say, but I was one of those people that wasn't mad about original mix of their first single before it was changed, because I thought it was aligned with their artistic vision perfectly. However, the mix in this new song is not it... You know, there are examples where the mix is bad and song is good and you don't really pay ... read more
This is the next level of overrated. There is something about it that feels weird, clumsy and badly produced. The vocals aren't good either. President is definitely for people that never had experience with this type of music previously, I'm pretty sure that most of them are mainly listeners from mainstream, because there are thousands and thousands of bands that sound much better and prove that President is one of the most generic and one of the most awkward examples of this specific ... read more
Never was a biggest Periphery fan, enjoyed some of their songs but I was always struggling to return to any of their material. Still not a biggest fan
I know that nerds are gonna hate this song, but if you like vibes, you will 100% love it. This song is very simple but it's very well done which is basically all you need sometimes
Not gonna lie, it sounds very much like Invent Animate, the vocal approach as well. It's so similar that at first I thought it was Marcus from Invent Animate. Also the way guitars and ambience blended together while reflecting a melancholic melody reminds me of the Heavener atmosphere instantly, which to ... read more
Finally a band with djent elements that experiments with some lofi soundscape, besides Oceans Ate Alaska
Certainly sounds like modern Thornhill in specific parts, but in a decent way. Chorus and melody are really interesting, almost reminiscent of Australian band Bloom. The song is very replayable overall and gets better over time, which is a wonderful thing
Hot take, thall doesn't sound good by default and it's very difficult to make something good with it. Some bands are able to make a proper thall-oriented songwriting, but this band is on another level. They take the worst part of thall and create stuff out of it whilst taking it to anxiety levels, which is obviously very talented, but I find it completely unlistenable and can't see myself going back to it, because I can't find any situation where I'd be listening to ... read more
Very good atmospheric album, this is my favorite type of production, it's reminiscent of The Dark Pool by Thornhill and the whole album feels very inspired by Deftones overall, also reminds me of The Butterfly Effect. The only problem I have with this album is that it feels repetitive
My least favorite part about this song is actually melody, too simple for my taste, the coolest part is a second half and chorus. Feels very much like Linkin Park which is cool, but in my opinion it makes the song seem more generic and radio friendly and I've outgrown this specific style, it would've been better if they used synths similar to stuff by Porter Robinson unless it was intentionally a Linkin Park reference. Really good choice for single if it's the weakest song on the ... read more
Really great album from an underrated band. Feels like a proper slight mix of emo and progressive metalcore. For fans of bands like Livealie, Hollow Front
I think thall is ruining this band for me, too much heavy for the sake of heavy in parts that don't really work well with it
This album is a perfect example of why Thall is really hard to master and make listenable and meaningful unlike djent, because thall is ruining identity of this band. It would've been a great pop album in the first place, but it feels like they're adding heavy elements and thall just for nothing, it's heavy for the sake of heavy without a purpose
Hot ... read more
Karmanjakah are easily the best thall band right now, they're bringing more melody into it which may actually fix it, the riffs are incredible. I appreciate how experimental and individual it feels despite being thall which is difficult to make meaningful and listenable in terms of songwriting, but I'm slightly disappointed that this album has too many interludes on release, I'm sure that if they gave it more time, they would end up with some amazing songs, even though interludes ... read more
I like how an unprepared listener may not understand this song on a first listen and think it's just random noise, but it makes more sense the more you're going back to it and eventually becomes hypnotic. This requires a very deep level of balance between songwriting and mix and it's one of my favorite things about heavy music, also it has a very subconscious summery vibe which is difficult to apply to a very heavy song
This is peak. Notice how it doesn't have Buster's mix 😂
Karmanjakah are really good at doing melodic Thall riffs and there are so many bands trying to do this purposelessly for the sake of nothing and without proper understanding of balance
But this... This feels musically meaningful, individual and perfectly balanced
I respect you if you take your time and read what I'm saying, because I need your opinion and perspective about this
Invent Animate are my favorite band and I really enjoyed the song, but here's the problem. Buster's mix is perfect and it makes so many bands sound similar and faceless. The bands that don't give a chance to other talented producers like for instance George Lever or Lance Prenc or anybody else are destined to lose identity or a part of their individuality ... read more
While I'm getting tired of thall, I think this band is good at combining modern metalcore with thall elements, and surprisingly they're doing it slightly different compared to many thall-influenced metalcore bands
To me they're like if Livealie had some amount of different influences, but the fact that they're able to connect all the pieces together while containing some individuality shows that they are talented and definitely capable of doing more. There is a ... read more
New Bilmuri is a great background mall music, jk I think some songs are really good and I really like some choruses, I think my favorite one is still the one with ADTR feature
