New single, album has been delayed a few years now, be interesting if it comes out next year.

It's pretty good, there's a bit of Goblin/Morricone Giallo scores to it.

Pretty disappointing after all this time. The guitar sounds like a digital guitar pro tab track, no life in it at all.

Can't say I totally disagree with you on that, reminds me of the sound Sneap gave Hell. Strange though, cos it's not Sneap but rather Arthur Rizk who most recently did... Absolute Elsewhere!

Not a bad track though.

Yeah production isn't great, especially in the intro sounds a bit off. I read Rizk mixed it alongside King/La Roque, they should just let him do the whole thing himself.

Don't get me started on the Hell albums! But that's one for the pet peeves thread  :laugh:

Musically the song seems fine to me, but the guitars sounds a bit dry and front-loaded, and are oddly spaced.

The drums are really flat sounding too, like a demo or some of those lockdown recordings.

Decent enough song, but the production is pretty flat alright
