**The Songs**

1. *The Warning*. Instrumental piece. Angelical choirs, that mixed with synth sounds and some metalcore screams in the back.
1. *Weaponized.* The proper start of the album, and it’s a direct punch to your gut. Metalcore growls with **Alex’s** softer voice to equilibrate it.
1. *Oscillator.* A lot of electronic elements here, that reminded me a bit of **Wage War’s** latest album (in a good way). Perfect combination.

 It And it has a super catchy chorus. I’ve been singing to myself **Alex’s** part all day. About internal struggles.

1. *Doomswitch*. A very emotional song lyrically, feelings of isolation. Yet the song is super heavy. Love the slow-down of the pace nearly at the end, that helps to paint the theme of this track.
1. *Mana God.* A super heavy from the start. **Sean** voice is verging on deathcore here, at times. **Alex’s** growls and screaming “f…” here are also amazing. Super heavy track. Feeling of oppression of the tyranny of our authorities. No clean vocals here, only power.
1. *Epitaph*. It begins with a horror film vibe, and then the instruments and growls dropped.

This was the first song I listened of this band, when this single came up around April. I immediately fell in love with **Alex’s** voice, so sweet. 

I’ve always been a sucker for the bands that uses male growls at the same time that a melodic female voice. So, with this started my journey with this band, and even though I listened some of their older stuff. But this album is beyond comparison, and for me, it’s a serious candidate to be on my list of **Album of the Year** (so stay tuned for that).

1. *No Hard Feelings.* For me, this is a colossal power ballad (I wouldn’t just call it a power ballad because of its intensity). Here we can enjoy **Alex’s** beautiful voice most of the song. About relationship problems.
1. *Venusian Blues*. Heavy track, as almost as the rest of the album, but with one added piece, a male clean voice in the chorus, provided by Sean, that sounds super cool, it gave it another vibe to the song.
1. *Ghost of Me*. Nice track with different styles, it even has a pop vibe (at times). Feelings of resentment and anger. **Alex’s** isolated voice was a nice touch.
1. *Tether.* A progressive metal track, djent, guitar, keys, bass, and drums started spectacular with a middle eastern sound, that continues throughout the track.
1. *Small Town Syndrome*. Another heavy track, with a beautiful and calm musical ending. Nice way to end the album, that was short and sweet.

In general, a very eclectic album that leads more on the super heavy side, but also electronic elements, cool guitar riffs, interesting keyboards, **Sean** growls and **Alex’s** soft voice. 

Breakdowns, intensity, versatility.
