Matteo's voice was what made Novelists what it was, just as the lead guitar makes it so incredible. Let's see if the new vocalists catches on. I'm not a fan right now but who knows. Matteo just had more soul in his voice. This guy, although good, just sounds too generic. No disrespect meant.

Lots of people confuse quality for genericism... 🤷‍♂️ If the chorus is strong, it’s “too pop”, if the rhythms are just cruising and doing their job, it’s “not heavy enough”... if the lead guy holds back in a tasteful way, it’s “not technical enough”... Like man, being a great musician is about knowing when to jump in and out, and when to simplify, to better benefit the song as a whole. Not just ramming your musical chops down listeners’ throats. I don’t get the hate either... lol. Lots of solid songwriting, musicality, and cool experimental touches here... progressive structure... it’s good stuff.

Now Tobias left 😂

"Lost Cause" Was it all just a dream or Was it just the price to pay? Now I'm left here to pray in silence And You got what you wanted I search for meaning When all I used to do was dreaming Disconsolate, mourning a loss Lonesome at best Run away But I can never escape From the pain in my brain This fucking misery I need a reason for who we are I need to breath, throughout the war I lost faith in myself again I lost faith in myself again Just breath in Just breath in And bury me And bury me Just pretend Just pretend And run away And run away I'm slowly shutting down and I can't deny, that all I do is losing control You know I can't keep going on, this shit is taking its toll But I can never escape But I can never escape But I can never escape System failure I need a reason for who we are I need to breath, throughout the war I lost faith in myself again I lost faith in myself again...

These comments are a painful reminder of how shitty the metal community can be. This is my introduction to this band and I'm absolutely blown away. The song is fantastic in terms of mixing, structure, tone, vocals, emotion, etc., yet half of the comments here are some backhanded remark about how this song would've been "so much better with the previous vocalist." I understand that change can be hard for people, but have some respect. Imagine how hard it would be to replace a lead vocalist, and how hard it would be for a band that has to reinvent itself after losing its vocalist. And despite all of that, they come out with an airtight banger. This community really has to learn how to just respect and enjoy this amazing music without throwing a temper tantrum any time a song comes out that isn't exactly how you thought it would sound.

You're overthinking it. As a listener you're not obliged to simp for any band and just suck in everything they do no matter what. That's stupid. Because to my ears and others as well, the old vocalist simply had a much better voice and their previous songs also felt stronger than this. Now I'm hoping their new album will change my mind but atm I don't like the direction they're going. If it turns out to be disappointing then I will simply stop looking forward to their new material. It's still the music that counts.

As with the new replacement Tobias brings something great, I was a big fan of Alazka and was torn at the news that they broke up. But good things do happen and good it was. He is a great replacement. Although I do wish Matteo would have stayed. He is doing amazing things with his new project and am glad he is happy.

Just a reminder to bring this version back to Spotify since my last comment about it got deleted.

How nice it is to hear Tobi sing with such passion, greetings from Venezuela

This song literally took me straight to 2021. I'm literally blown away by this.

I loved Alazka, and I loved Matteo's voice. The mix of both with Tobias in Novelists makes me happy. I can understand why people are nostalgic or confused by Tobias singing, but trust me lads: Give him a chance, he won't disappoint you. He's an absolute monster when it comes to vocals, and from what I'm used from him, that's totally different from what he usually do. Let them try new things, let them bloom in their new sound, and you will see why Tobias was the best choice. Beside that, Florestan, Amael and Nicolas, you have exceed my expectations, cheers to you lads ! I'm looking forward your next album !

So glad Tobi found a new home, absolutely loved Alazka and this will definitely at least fill the void left by Alazka breaking up. 💜

Amazing. Just amazing. I have been a fan of this band before, and truth be told, i was really upset about a loss of the previous vocalist. But this guy proved himself as an amazing singer. Powerful, appeals to emotions, good transition. You people need to respect a good music and effort that they obviously have put in.
