Getting Mastodon vibes from this one. It's melodic without every loosing heaviness or flavor. Nailed it!

Yeah, this is really awesome. Once it gets going around 3:00, it's great. Easy to imagine soaring vocals on top. Nice ending, leaves me wanting more. Super solid entry this week!

Awesome! Really digging the energy here.

Stuff really pops up right as it enters that 3 minute mark. There's a lot of cool rhythmic wedges between the harmonizing lead guitar parts that is really pleasing to hear. I also dig the intro, I think the slightly gained up guitar adds some nice sizzle to the clean guitar. I can totally hear the post-metal vibe you were going for in that section (paired with the song title, haha). I think the only thing I would suggest with that style is that, once that chugging guitar has been introduced and established, maybe take that original guitar part you started with and start to outline a different chord, or even a different voicing of the same one just higher up in octave. That would pair nicely with the other guitars you started to layer in around 2:14 I think and really help the section to feel like it's gaining momentum towards that 3 minute mark. Really happy to hear more metal songs on Weekly Beats, I need to continue to check out your other stuff

That is some heavy tones there. Drums programming is great. Cool stuff.

I second that, especially the section around 3:00.

Thank you for providing my weekly fix of heavy guitars!

I liked the transition around the 3:00 mark.  This definitely brings the heavy guitars and it's cool to get a dose of that.

Damn, this sounds amazing. You're really putting the bargain bin to work.

I like how that underlying riff that begins at 2:15 sorta sneaks in and has you thinking "wait... was that always there?". The big lift riff at 3:12 is noice! Lush guitarmonies It's like the song to that point is asking the question, and that bit is the sky answering... or something, I dunno
