    One of the things that always impresses me with your playing is your volume control. I absolutely do not have that muscle memory built in and it's super satisfying to hear you pull off those swells live

    • @CurtisKlope

    Honestly have to say, I am an electronic fan. Mostly Drum and Bass, haven’t heard an entire metal album all the way through since Meshuggah’s Chaosphere. Way back when. I came across ‘Hurt You’ a couple days ago and decided to give the rest of the album a listen… I haven’t heard a band with as much range, uniquely beautiful sounds or lead vocals as I have with you guys. Your band is truly unique and I have no doubt that you are on track to reshape the core of this music scene. You all deserve everything coming to you! Don’t change a THING!!!!
