This is a certified banger, no two ways about it. I'll also add that some of these songs are growers, loved both this one and Lost Cause when they came out, but multiple listens only make the songs more enjoyable to hear. @Novelists you say you are having fun and it shows, and that's very refreshing as a listener. For those mentioning Matt, I'd point out that these guys and Matt are still pretty close, but artists have their creative necessities and differences, so it's great to see Sal3m and Novelists do their thing. It's illogical to me to complain when instead of choosing option 1 or option 2, you can have both...and they're both great. But that's just my opinion of course. Cheers

That fucking guitar solo though. Incredible songs fellas with an even better message. Thank you for this piece of art.

I think I have an unhealthy obsession with this song. I’ve replayed this song several times everyday for months and I still can’t get enough XD

The best thing about this band is their guitar solos. Lots of bands now days don't drag out their solos as long as they should! These guys know what we the people want! Longer guitar solos! And they SHRED!!!🤘🤘

This woulda been a sick song for Cyberpunk 2077, fits the plot so well.

Can't understand the hate towards Novelists, for real. Bands need to change their style from time to time, as long as they do it properly, and that's what's happening here. It's a new age for this band. Of course Matt will never be replaceable, they are two very different vocalists. It would be way, WAY worse if they'd kept their old sound with the new guy, so I'm extremely hyped and enjoying listening to their new stuff! Bring it on Novelists. I'm all up for that shit.

This is so badass. What a solo

Quel plaisir d'avoir un groupe français de ce niveau 🇫🇷🇫🇷. Mais quel solo 🥰

That solo absolutely destroyed me. Awesome stuff

This took my breath away, that opening riff is HYPE

If you listen closely, you can hear the synths accentuate the heaviness in the riffs which is very similar to what Northlane does. That chorus is pretty special and I love the vocal diversity in the whole songs! The solo is pretty special as well and kudos to Flo for using a wah on this one, it's so refreshing to hear it in modern metal! Well done boys, bring out more stuff like this as it is a banger!

Flo continues to be one of the best fucking guitarists out there!!! So damn underrated. Don't mind Tobias so far but just wish they'd relax on the heavy, heavy electronic effects throughout the entire song. It kinda throws the rest of it off, same with the first single they released.

At first i was like "a van halen guitar in a metalcore music video?" Aand now it makes more sense.

Ok I know I’m late saying this but you guys said you were gonna find someone who could keep the novelists alive and fighting strong while bringing a new feel and you DID. While you can’t replace Matteo, Tobias set out doing exactly what you told us. Old novelists will always hold a special place in my heart but I am excited for your future. Keep bring the new and don’t let negativity stop you from doing what you guys want to do. You are all artists, so express yourself. Love the music guys, always will.

I'm a long time Novelists fan. I love the old Novelists. I love the New Novelists. Musicians man. Y'all keep killin it

I've been waiting for another band to bring back solos with style. You guys did it! Keep them around sometimes to showcase your skill and let us rock

The band really took a turn, musically speaking, since Matteo left. Not taking anything away from Tobi, he's doing a great job, but Matt is almost irreplacable. It's a different Novelists we have today, but I feel like it's gonna take time for me to remove that Matteo-era from my head

This new tune is pretty great and fun too though.

Had to go back and listen to this. Really glad that I did. I love the Metalcore/Industrial sound of these guys. Mad props on the great mix of the 2 styles.

I love their evolution, I was so looking forward to their new songs and certainly not disappointed!! More than a fan than I was before tbh. Great job guys

I hope the next album has more banger songs like this, and less fillers.

I love the transition from the heavy, hardcore main section to the moist, bluesy guitar solo. I was overwhelmed by the development of the intense guitar solo that came right after I thought so. It is a gem of a song filled with the charm of the guitar.

The more I listen to this track the more I like the chorus! Huge banger! Continue the amazing work!

That bluesy section 🔥🔥🔥

Wow haven’t heard this type of solo in a loooooong time …. New stuff and old school …. Amazing!!

I can not even put in words my anticipation for the album. Dude, that solo is sick!

Absolute banger of a tune, love everything about the song, heavy but a song you can bounce to. Great work guys 🙌

The lyrics in the chorus are literally the plot the cyberpunk 2077🤣!

Wasnt sure about the vocalist change but I keep finding myself coming back for more. That chorus is so damn catchy. But the solo, love it. Bluesy, not overly techical, compliments the main riff and groovie as hell. Flo, you continue to kick ass.

Genuinely refreshing and KICKASS sound. Bravo Novelists✨

That solo was flawless 🤘🏽🎸 this is a sound and lineup I agree with 🙏🏼 both singles are bangers!!! 🔥

Yo, I honestly held off to see when Novelists would next drop a playthrough, but I had to go listen to this song after that solo. You guys just do such great work! Please keep it up!

The chonky riff, the vocal hook and that god damn solo tone (o_O) ! I request more of the same good sirs.

That solo progression- so smooth. Great vocals!

This is so good. Still has that novelists vibe too! Love it
