Anyone else think the acoustic ending of "Subtle Change" sounds like "He is" by Ghost?

what the fuck is up with the drums

This is honestly really divisive. On the one part, I like the little interludes, but almost all the rest of time i feel like I'm listening to a Behemoth record with juns.

EDIT: I also just plugged this into RadioLogic for shits and from what the program is showing me, brickwalling doesnt even begin to describe the fuckery going on here

I saw this band on that DTA tour with obituary and they were great live but everything was also axfx’d and triggered and DI’d and it really made it sound unauthentic in comparison to the other bands

It's obvious the members are talented, but can they actually write riffs instead of rhythmically hitting an open drop C string, and then throwing in a sweep pick ever now and again, and calling it a riff?

This is literally just a smoothie made from modern prog tropes. Chug riffs, crystal clean production, unneeded instrumental diversity, boring interludes that try to be melodic and thought evoking but end up falling on their face, etc.

In a universe where extreme metal was the norm for people to listen to, this would be the shit played in the background of an insurance company commercial with attractive 'non-actor' actors.
