    Once upon a time, they held an open call for people to record themselves doing chants, that were supposed to go in the background of an outro solo for one of these songs. i think that was in like, 2016 or so, so it may have changed since then, but i hope not!

    I saw them play this live in Umeå, Sweden last week, along with Orbit Culture, The Halo Effect and Meshuggah! :) Umeå isn't too far from my hometown and I've been there a lot before, plus the tickets were quite cheap so I just had to go. It was part of their Scandinavia-only tour, with only Swedish bands, which I think is pretty cool. Orbit Culture alone were pretty much half the reason I decided to go, been listening to them a whole lot for the past year or two. I actually found them through your channel, Tank! Thanks for introducing me to them :D I love the other bands as well, although Scar Symmetry must've gone completely under my radar somehow because it was the first time I heard them. They definitely left me wanting to hear more of their stuff, they really killed it at the show. As did all the other bands, everyone was on point. I don't go to a lot of shows but I'm glad I did with this one, had a really awesome night!

    I know this isn't related to the video, but if you have never heard of them, Vintersea just dropped two banger singles recently.

Their performance for, The Slay at Home Tour, would make for a great reaction video.
