"More spoken than sung, these vocals add a different flavor to a
very pleasing and diversified metal melody. With the accent and the
heavy bass it exudes a distinctive listening experience. The
contrast is unique, the balance magnetic. The change up in the
middle is beautiful guitar strums to a heavy underscore that
complement each other well and keep the interest flowing. Energetic,
fluctuating and divergent, I found myself liking it more with each
listen. Well done, and not the only song by this artist that caught
my aural attention. The Intro, "Welcome To The Playground" is a
perfect overture introduction to this artist. Put on the headphones
for this one people, the sound effects are precisely timed and so
authentic that I had to shutter the windows and lock the doors. An
eerily creeping melody sets the stage for the traumatic lightening,
pounding rain with infant cries of fear and need. So very well done
and so very intense, I was engulfed in the moment. It was hypnotic.
It was real. If you are lacking for an individual sound in your
metal soup, then this band should be added to the recipe."
