You guys sound like a perfect tandem... I had to listen a few times to appreciate what you had created, the chord progressions, basslines, and solos; the drums (wish I could play like that!), and your voices. I think your ending made me want to play it again :)

Thank you so much for your kindness 🙏🏽
Let's have the drum talk at some point, maybe on Discord. I'm not conscious of some of my drumming habits but I can break down some of them, if you'd like.
Ok, I made a acc just for this. I LOVE IT. but I just love chris's monotonous voice mixed with the music! Deff listening again!
Troisnyx responds:
Doesn't feel that monotonous to me especially in the opening verse, but yeah 😁 I appreciate your kindness btw, thank you so much!
Absolutely magnificent, the highlight of NGADM for me. If I could give higher than a 10 I would. Seriously. The delivery, the emotion behind the guitar solo at the end, just everything culminated into something absolutely beautiful. You two should be proud of yourselves for making something so incredible.

Thank you so much! I wanted the final guitar solo to be special and feel like it's close to the vocal melody at first but then completely breaking free and doing its own thing! =D
I like the smooth guitar at the beginning and the melancholy vocals shortly thereafter. The vocal layering is really nice harmonically, but they don’t always blend together well in the mix. The way the vocal lines are articulated is just slightly different sometimes between the lead vocals and harmonies, if that makes sense. The lyrics themselves are really vivid and evocative. The piece also has a great overarching sense of build-up, between the addition of the strong beat at 1:33 and the guitar solo at 2:24. The production quality is fantastic, and the phrasing and arrangement feel really loose and organic, like you’re both communicating these feelings to me by talking to me rather than through music. Overall, this is a very strong piece, you two! Keep it up. ^_^

i really cant overstate how beautiful and powerful this track is. the guitar solo in the second half is near enough to get me teary eyed. incredible work
