This album is absolutely 10/10. This is exactly the kind of project I was hoping Howard would get involved with. His vocals are so dang good. Then add in the fact that Jared is achieving his dreams and writing awesome music? Bravo guys.
@@naveenjets8240 This is more of a vocally driven song imo. The guitars aren't bad and jared's skills aren't in doubt, but this is a more "radio" friendly track IMHO. Honestly, i am just glad to hear Howards voice. It's aged well and it is as beautiful as ever.

@@BCBS4631 part of that is the mixes duping bringing it out a ton. Which is why his vibrato sounds really really bad in this mix, same with his screams. Like they're through a small diameter tube. That engineer made some interesting decisions on the vocals. It's not bad, just weird.

should i skip school for youtube video making? i making good stuff but i need much time to making. maybe replace school with making videos. i have two girlfriends. thanks for your opinion dear cris
Jared, I can’t even describe the joy I felt listening to the new album, hearing Howard’s voice just as/if not more powerful and strong as it was during his time in my favorite band ever, his screams are cold and callous like a snow storm, and his cleans shimmer like sunbeams on a fresh car paintjob, and they meld perfectly with your crisp and precise instrumentals, this album is a true masterpiece and will definitely be listening on repeat, couldn’t be happier 🤘
Out of every project Jared has done, this is by far his best work. Plus Howard's vocal performance on this is some of his greatest of all time. 10/10 album Jared and congrats to you both on an epic release.
Words cannot describe the joy I feel, knowing that you folk found each other. Continue brewing sweet ear candy for years to come. Also, holler if you need a live drummer.
This makes me want to write music again. It's really helping me get back into it. I'm loving everything that you're working on in SION with you two! It's absolutely amazing!
You do not want to be inspired by these cash grabbing hacks. The whole album announcement and promo was to kickstart Howard's band Light the Torch which tanked so badly, like this will too.
Howard's music has gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life. I'm so happy he knew I was struggling and put out more music to help me stay focused. I know you don't know me Howard, but thank you.
[Verse 1] I am pariah, easier to push away Bury desire, easier to end this way [Pre-Chrous] This is what the pain is for Sever all the memories This is what the rain is for Wash away so easily [Chorus] You can never bear this crown Somehow I'm too blind to see There's nowhere to go but down Close your eyes and drown with me [Verse 2] You are messiah, faith in you is all I've known Feeble, a liar, take it all, I'll never know [Pre-Chorus] This is what the pain is for A life to live and never learn This is what the rain is for The ashеs still can burn [Chorus] You can never bear this crown Somеhow I'm too blind to see There's nowhere to go but down Close your eyes and drown with me [Bridge] You've failed me for the last time I've got to save myself In the end, the sacrifice was worth the risk Death and freedom means I truly exist [Chorus] You can never bear this crown Somehow I'm too blind to see There's nowhere to go but down Close your eyes and drown with me You can never bear this crown Somehow I'm too blind to see There's nowhere to go but down Close your eyes and drown with me Close your eyes and drown
This is really good! Nice and melodic without being too "poppy". Great riffs and melodies, really strong songwriting! I'm impressed! Howard sounds amazing as always! 🤘
This is wonderful Jared, you’re definitely living out one of my child hood fantasies of being in a band with Howard lol. On another note his other projects besides KsE have been lackluster, and it’s about time an artist has delivered tracks that can really let Howard shine for how incredible of an vocalist he is. Thank you Jared for not only living out every 2000s metalcore kids dream, but doing it beyond expectations.
@Geoff DB light the torch is fine BUT sometimes we want Howard to be a little more metal. \m/ i have this album mixed with LTT so I can get the best of all.
You are the duo I never knew I needed, now that I've tasted some I beg you to keep going and never stop working together. Please, please, please ! The album is amazing, 10/10 !
The fact that a killer TH-cam musician/Content Creator had something in them that a legend/GOAT of the metal scene saw is amazing to put together an amazing album, not just a single, but an entire masterpiece of a records
This is incredible Jared. Considering there’s footage of the recording process do you think you’d make a video dedicated to you and Howard making the album? Either way, congrats on this record, there is not a single song that isn’t as strong as the next ❤️❤️
Howard Jones will always remain one of the most iconic voices of my lifetime. I'm really happy for you that you were able to make an album with your idol. Truly.
You guys...you guys are incredible. This new album is just everything i've ever wanted since "End of Heartache" from KSE. Again, just tears of joy from hearing Howard singing and Jared playing... and the lyrics, oh the lyrics are amazing and profound. Please, keep "SION" alive. We need this. Thank you guys so much.
Every time listening to this song feels like only a few seconds. I do not want to compare it, but it's almost the same feeling I had when I discovered Howard Jones' voice with Killswitch when I was 14. Just peace. Peace and connection. I have so much love for the both of you, I can't believe it's already been 8 years since I first heard both of you play and sing and now, you creating this masterpiece is just like the wildest dream. I'm still in awe.
I had nothing but chills listening to this entire song. Very well done and ai love it so much already, thank you Jared and of course thank you Howard! Keep rocking on you guys! 🤘🏼🖤
The album is amazing, and in this song you nail it guys. It has riffs, groove, feelings and soul, and Howard voice just demostrates how beautiful metal music can be
so not even sure you'll see this. but Howard Jones has been my go to musical therapy for every major hiccup throughout my life. and after the most crushing year ever you two guys pulled me from the abyss and made me 1000% better than I've ever been. keep doing what you're doing man. it changes the world to some people. and that's always a good thing.
Just checked out the entire album on spotify, great work Jared, Howard and everyone involved in this amazing album, definitely one of the best musical gifts of 2021!
I love watching people achieve their dreams and even better, achieve things that surpass anything they dared to dream. Jared, you earned this. Great song and video.
This is what we've always needed. Thank you Jared and Howard for releasing your powerful energy into this world. Definitely want to support as much as I can. Everyone should too!
These guys have a flow and chemistry that only comes around once in a lifetime. Damn good music! This is exactly what so many of us wanted and needed. Can't wait to see what they're working on next.
Jared Dines and Howard this album is a masterpiece!! Every song is great from top to bottom!! Thank you for releasing it! I too grew up listening to Howard in Killswitch and was instantly drawn to the music and his voice! Heres a big fan that is hoping for another collab from you both in the future
Jared, I’ve listened to your whole album a few times all of the way through today. It’s absolutely fantastic and has absolutely blown me away. Great work to everyone involved in this project!
A very Killswitch Engage-worthy breakdown at 2:43, that was such a banger. Jared and Howard are phenomenal. This song and Inside the Hollow are my favorites from their album.
I've listened to the album from front to back TWICE already and I'm gonna say this much (subjectively, of course), this is a personal top 3 album for me this year along with Spiritbox and Whitechapel. The overall feel, message and delivery were as epic as you could get. Jared, you brought your A game as you had to with the metal vocal GOD, Howard Jones. Howard, you took what Jared brought to the table and made solid PLATINUM with it. I hope that some point down the road you two get a full band together and tour on this.
What would be awesome if you and Howard did a sit down and just went over each track with commentary, how it came together, what it means to each of you etc. I'd love to hear both of your thoughts on the album and each song, why it was placed where it was etc. It would also be awesome to have Hiram in there too!
The whole album is fantastic Jared! The thing that really stood out to me was that every single song had a different vibe, I love that. Fantastic performances by you and Howard, and awesome production! It really sounds amazing! Can't wait for the next full album haha
I love it. Howard is my forever fav artist. You Jared are a extremely talented musician in your own way. This combination is supreme. Between the first release of "Blade" and the full album, I cannot just pick one song to love more than the others. Each are just too unique to compare and I cannot get enough of each song. This will be a must-have for all fans of metal. Thank you both for a masterpiece. But if I had to pick some songs, as per your request, I would say "Blade" and "Drown". Love them to death.
Howard is right; NO ONE can wear his crown. He is the God of Heavy Metal voices. Everyone can scream, but can they sing like Howard? No, not even close. That man brings tears to your eyes, from emotions that he pulls out of your soul, with his own emotions and beautiful and melodic singing. I need more Howard Jones in my life!!!!

Sounds like As Daylight Dies era KSE. I love it 🥲
Words cannot describe the joy I feel, knowing that you folk found each other. Continue brewing sweet ear candy for years to come.
Also, holler if you need a live drummer.
The choruses on this album are insanely fricking catchy

[Verse 1]
I am pariah, easier to push away
Bury desire, easier to end this way
[Pre-Chrous]
This is what the pain is for
Sever all the memories
This is what the rain is for
Wash away so easily
[Chorus]
You can never bear this crown
Somehow I'm too blind to see
There's nowhere to go but down
Close your eyes and drown with me
[Verse 2]
You are messiah, faith in you is all I've known
Feeble, a liar, take it all, I'll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
This is what the pain is for
A life to live and never learn
This is what the rain is for
The ashеs still can burn
[Chorus]
You can never bear this crown
Somеhow I'm too blind to see
There's nowhere to go but down
Close your eyes and drown with me
[Bridge]
You've failed me for the last time
I've got to save myself
In the end, the sacrifice was worth the risk
Death and freedom means I truly exist
[Chorus]
You can never bear this crown
Somehow I'm too blind to see
There's nowhere to go but down
Close your eyes and drown with me
You can never bear this crown
Somehow I'm too blind to see
There's nowhere to go but down
Close your eyes and drown with me
Close your eyes and drown
