Used the topic video for this cuz the music video is that horrendous

song is awesome btw

Yep song rules

Some nice riffs on this. I'll just try to ignore the album art.

rips

Song slays but damn is that a boring album artwork.

Zao is killing it, can't wait.

Absolutely adore these guys. New songs are great. Last album was fantastic. Wtf is that new album art tho?

As I said in the other thread, this song is awful. Probably the most basic song they've ever put out. They need to call it quits. However they're recording Dan's vocals nowadays is earth shatteringly bad.

First single is better

"They need to call it quits." Lol wtf dude. I did not listened to the new songs, cause I save them for the album experience, but how can you say that after Virus? It's simply their best one, while some of the others rule, but as a bit dated metalcore. Band is damn inconsistent but you can't touch Virus tho.

"They need to call it quits."

lmfao you gave Virus a 4.5, and yet you say that shit after just one song you don't like

"Probably the most basic song they've ever put out"
Most of the material from Awake is way more basic than this song, and by metalcore standards Zao's most basic material is leagues ahead of a lot of other bands.

MagnumxCondom consistently has some of the worst -core takes on all of sput

Glad I don't take music recommendations from you

Good thing I didn't recommend anything in that post LOL. What an idiot

LOL

I'm pretty sure his point was just that your takes are so shit he wouldn't take recommendations from you if you did

Good, Stick to your Lana Del Ray kiddo

Good, Stick to your Lana Del Ray kiddo

I like almost all the same stuff you do but you make me kind of embarrassed about it

Hum, maybe morry is from zao.

their former drummer Jesse Smith lives in my town and I've seen him around a few times. he smells bad

As he should m/

"their former drummer Jesse Smith lives in my town and I've seen him around a few times. he smells bad"

Where's that?

where the band originally started. if you know where that is then it makes sense why he smells

Lived in Greensburg for a couple years so yes, I get it.

I won't argue with that, but wrong state. they didn't start in PA, most of the later members were from there.

As far as the album art they had a completely different design but turned out the Artist had already used the art on another album he worked on and of course didn’t tell the band. This was not a good alternative though haha.

Cover is just goosebumps drawn like shit. Album will be top tier shit though so it's cool.

And let's be real they'll never top blood and fire for cover art.

The art isn’t that bad. It’s just kinda meh. Can’t wait for the album.

And the dude just opened the door with one movement: zzzzzaaao

I like the album art. It's like a successor to The Fear Is What Keeps Is Here.

zao goodness

"their former drummer Jesse Smith lives in my town and I've seen him around a few times. he smells bad"
Get him some deodorant!

yeah be nice to him!

dirtiest shit i've heard since enterprise earth

"And let's be real they'll never top blood and fire for cover art."

But they totally already did with Virus, that's some album art I would hang on my wall

yeah Virus is by far their best album cover no doubt

Third song is another banger. album is shaping up to be fantastic.

well...HOW ABOUT STOP FUCKIN UNVEILING, fcs bands these days release the whole album in piss drops taking all the fun from the full exp! AVOIDIIING

ok boomer

ok teaser

Probably the best out of the three instrumental wise, but again, what the FUCK is dan doing on vocals? It sounds beyond awful.

Is it that different from Virus?

Sounds a little off compared to TWIV, but I listened to the newer song on YouTube instead of spotify which is what i had been listening to the newer stuff on and, to me, there is a huge difference. The YouTube version actually sounds mixed, while the spotify version sounds like dan screaming in a static room and then just copying and pasting it over the instrumentals. Weird
