    Dude thanks so much for featuring this on your channel! This is exactly the type of music that I fall in love with. The amount of transitions and they all hit hard but all built up perfectly and were completely different while also flowing so well into eachother, if that makes any sense. Very tasteful and creative riffs and transitions. Man I loved it, and the production was masterclass. I've heard stuff from these guys but I honestly didn't expect a song this massive from them. Cheers man, I'm loving your channel!. Prog is honestly the best genre out there.

This was the literal definition of perfection.
