      Yea, he is actually a pretty good clean vocalist. He's talked about it a few times but he says it really isn't his style and he is a bit self conscious about it. That said though, I was happy to see he actually did it in a song

    This new side to Darko US really surprised me. I didn't like the first songs I heard from these guys. Their style seems too extreme for my personal taste, especially the vocals. But this song was beautiful! I can definitely hear the similarities with Sam's voice, probably a reason why I like it so much. Always great when a band shows this sort of variety so they can appeal to people with different tastes in music.

They were one of the first deathcore bands I got into whenever their first ep came out and although I still think my Damnation is a deatchore classic, I started to drift away from them but after their "hard reset" with tom joining in they have become one of my favorite heavy bands after years!
