I can't say thank you enough Steve! It's so nice when someone hears the smallest details. Thank you so much! 🖤

[@SteveOGRock]

It’s a pleasure! Mate, your guitar work is mind blowing. Phenomenal stuff 👏🏻

[@naDalous]

Im so glad that Avralize are beginning to get the attention they deserve. Absolute masterpiece of a debut album!

[@ensco7]

As a German who's usually not at all into German metalcore, I'm surprised and grateful for Avralize's refreshing work!
On another note: Steve, have you checked out Thornhill's "The Dark Pool" yet? Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
EDIT: Just watched your interview with Avralize. So you do know The Dark Pool, and it's also great to hear that Thornhill were one of the bigger inspirations for the German band. I should have figured 😁

[@Hanos1987]

Lol, that's funny. I'm an American and I'm typically not into American metalcore.

[@nissyenarts]

Not fan of german metalcore?! No Revaira? No Time, the Valuator? 😮

[@danhaines]

Its the perfect album, IMO, although I wish it was a litter longer.
Every track has its own unique take, the album flows beautifully, really engaging. Its incredible that its a debut album.

[@deckard71387]

Album of the year so far, absolute banger start to finish!

[@tobiassauer7070]

Thanks for showing this band to me. They are going to so many places in all of the songs. A perfect Record. Not one boring second. Love it

[@jackolions]

Thanks for introducing these guys to me with your reaction to Lotus. This album is an absolute beast.

[@SteveOGRock]

So cool that you found them through this channel! Thanks for letting me know! 💙

[@danhaines]

Same here, never would have known about them if it wasn't for your "Lotus" react.

[@SteveOGRock]

@@danhaines that’s awesome!

[@jakeallis]

Ive never been so excited for a brand new band! I hope they get the traction needed for world tours asap!

[@rewoundmusic2312]

This band has SO MUCH potential I am mind blown that this their DEBUT it's fucking crazy how amazing they are! I cannot wait to see how far they go

[@SteveOGRock]

Same!

[@TyphoonPlant]

Don’t sleep on Novelists, new song Okapi, from the new EP.

[@SteveOGRock]

I will be checking that out live on Twitch tomorrow evening UK time ✅

[@lisabyford]

Really lovely.

[@skyhahn3918]

"I'm Batman!" Michel Keaton phase, from all the headbanging, cant move my neck anymore! Lord have mercy, what force of musical nature!! so good, and you rock aswell steve! hahah

[@Sanzen]

[@birnekaskade12]

[@joeboorer9297]

Fav album of the year so far…by far

[@themcabbages77]

The production of these songs is phenomenal, especially considering the fact that this is their debut album.

[@holgergaus9179]

All Killer No Filler❤

[@sharing64tacos]

I think my top 3 favorite debut albums in recently is
Lost Souls by Caskets
Shame on me by Catch Your Breath
Your Hellcome by Samuria Pizza Cats

[@oisinfoleyoconnell1261]

Mad "Dreamwake" vibes off of Canvas

[@SmunGo21]

Banger debut album, but Resolve's Between me and the Machine will still hold the spot for best debut album for me.

[@SteveOGRock]

That’s a VERY good shout!

[@SamB-yj8is]

This is an AMAZING debut, but I think The Dark Pool is the best debut I’ve ever heard.

[@SteveOGRock]

My problem with The Dark Pool is the vocal styling. But instrumentation on it is brilliant.

[@SamB-yj8is]

Yeah, I remember when you were talking about the Polaris tour that you weren’t a fan bc he sang out of key, I think I adds layers to the music but I’m not a musical guy

[@SteveOGRock]

@@SamB-yj8is A massive part of music is the subjectivity of the sounds that you like. You’re not wrong for liking that particular vocal styling at all. It’s just a preference on my side.
