Gotta admit, the guitars, drums and everything is pretty chocolate cakey. Bass drum is perfect, not a cockroach-to-windscreen-"bass" drum but a proper one, with punch and air. Snare cuts through just the right amount most of the time. Still, I'm missing actual ringing toms in modern metal music, but I guess they take it out because it makes the mix muddy or something? But seriously, the toms' ring doesn't cut through at all, as if it was just 100% taken out deliberately. I mean, if the toms are played 3 % of the time, why can't they just ring like they should, I don't get it

@chrismills7703

@@nenissaK Sorta answered your own question. Sure maybe he only plays the toms 3% of time overall, but its not like he hits one tom every thirty seconds or something, he hits a bunch of them all in a short period of time like in a fill or something like 2:15. All that ringiness would just get in the way and clutter things up real quick

Heither way....i whish them the best as an full album has "space" to fill all of the purposes and they already done more than enough for the genre to do as they please.

An absolute banger of a teaser single. Love Haken when they're angry.

the melody at 3:47 is the same in ectobius rex. I just love that guitar.

Saw them with the Contortionist and Devin Townsend. What an incredible show, became a fan that night

came here for the outro riff ..... absolutely crushing turnarounds ... so good

One of Haken's best singles. This song ROCKS. Before Ross explained the connection to "Vector" I could already tell based off lyrical concept and overall structure it was a continuation. So stoked for the album!
