      Why do you like so many shitty bands? Most have The same tempos, nothing really original. Every now and then you get a good one. But it seems that you like every single band you hear on the channel, even though 90% are shitty. What's the deal with that?

      It's interesting seeing how many years it takes for Christian bands to realize their god can't exist if the bible is true. An omnipotent all loving being can't also be a jealous, wrathful god that condones genocide, human/animal sacrifices, rape, and apartheid like the god depicted in the bible. The bible is pretty metal though.

    Your fire alarm knew this was a banger

    If you're wondering what the tuning is for this, welp, the guitarist from Reflections is in this band. Listen to "From Nothing," then this. Same exact tone and the drums also sound the same.

      Yeah, it's Logan Young. He's good for the heavy and the chugs, but he's no Patrick Somoulay. He's the one who brings all the melody, tapping, and crazy groove to Reflections. Check out his playthrough of Autumnus. It's insane.
