vocal layering is weird, makes them feel muffled.

call me crazy but I think that might be what they're going for. even if I'm wrong, it's refreshing to have some genuine cringekino album art in a world of slop. I do think the logo itself is sweet though, very cool Anthrax homage.

Song is ok, not sure about the vocals when they first kick in though.

Loved the music up until the vocals came in, I don’t think Nuno’s voice needs all that layering when the guy can still sing

I mean they’ve tracked over vocals before yes but here it’s really noticeable, maybe turn the other tracks down a bit is alls I’m saying. Otherwise it’s a good song

I don't know how older Wilhelm fans cannot be totally satisfied with this. To me, that was great, and yeah, reminds me of Ruiner and Mute Print. I thoroughly enjoyed that song.

I love AWS but the vocal production makes this otherwise good song unlistenable for me.

Oh I thought this band was heavier, but yeah, agree with above.

Nuno does sound a little smothered but it's not enough to bother me. you want bad mediumcore production, check out Strung Out's last record. yeesh.
