Forest's bass line in the beginning is the funkiest tech death ever.

Archspire just needs a better vocalist. I know this isn't popular opinion but their vocalist has held the master musicians back so damn much. Imagine if they had vocals like spawn of possessions or better yet, old school psychroptic.

I've watched and listened to this a million times, but this is the first time that I noticed the little harmonic note snuck in at the end of Forest's solo (3:29) and it's little details like this that show how amazing of song writers the fellas at First Fragment are. It's not just technical wankery for the sake of it, it's very well written, very musical technical wankery. I love it, this album is so good.

Absolute perfection. Can't wait for the entire album.

These bouncy swing riffs you guys have been writing like at 2:50 are so fucking cool, feel like I've not really heard anything like that in this kind of music before. Wicked stuff!

Forest solo on this one is amazing already been listening to it in loop. So glad to see it played for real so early, thx for that video

This track is FUN!

OMFSay10! This is so frickin awesome amd fresh sounding! Love the Watch Tower shirt! So good to hear a Spawning of a Possessed Martyr written in Spastic Inc...

You just doesn't avoid dancing with this. This is Amazing.

Such skillfull execution. You guys have a real flair for performance. Hope to see you guys play this one live. Sounding real good.

Love that the guitarist is wearing an "unleash the archers" t shirt 🤘

Whole song is amazing but 4:10 onwards , it's just brilliant \m/...

This is in tough competition for greatest tech death song of all time for me, against “apparition” by spawn of possession and “stabwound” by necrophagist. Just mind blowing

Attention! Forest est lâché lousse! Je répète : FOREST EST LÂCHÉ LOUSSE!

I must have watched this 200 times! Love it! Make music forever please, thanks.

Dammit guys this is omafkingawd delicious! Just couldn't stay awake for the drop those 5½-6 hours ago. Woke up now and realised why I should've stayed awake. On the third watch right now and have paused to write this. It feels like EVERYONE (including invisible Nick) is unleashing their superpowers sequentially. My soul leaps with joy!! When those afterburners kick in at 5:12 holy hell that catchy groove hook to finish....just leaves me wanting MORE of the song!! Guys, please consider putting out an instrumental version of the album as well y'all. Pleeeease 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Salut from India. 🍻🍻🍻

This is hands down Your absolutely best piece :D. So fun, groovy, yet still metal!

Magistrale!!!!!! 🤘 💯 🖤

Pure ART...!

I wish I could like this video Everytime I watch it

Every single solo is amazing especially that last one before the final bass solo comes in. Those tapped harmonics (if I remember right, that's what they're called) at the end are an amazing touch

I absolutely love that bass tone. I cant get enough.

Perfect, sublime. 🤘🏻👍🏻

So psyched for the full release!!!! \m/
