    Had another song cooking for 3 months now. It was a challenging feat trying to record while I'm doing internship at the time lmao. Wanted to get this done on my birthday a few days ago, but it is what it is.
    I went all out with this project, having super varied tempo throughout the song and went out my way to write new riffs that would fit the RTL vibe. Needless to say, I think it was a good effort. Thanks for listening!
    Special thanks to:
    - @GreenmiIe for providing the AI vocal script again! This video wouldn't have been possible without his insane works!
    - Semtex, for letting me use his sweet album cover design once again!
    - kirkhammettwannabe, you know who you are. Thank you so much for supporting my work throughout the years! I was able to push through my writer's block and finish this piece in due time!

      @klasrem Před 19 dny

      ​@BryceBarilla Honestly, the frosty description is perfect. Frosty is good for describing the sound. For the album's atmosphere, it's also perfect. The clouds are up high, and it's chiller in higher elevations, and the mood of the album is cold. Lots of the songs involve something dark, Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, and Fight Fire with Fire are definitely the best songs for that description

      I also have issues with the production of album like you, but my main issue is that the majority of the songs on there are way too bloated in composition compared to MOP or RTL. Frayed Ends of Sanity, The Shortest Straw, and especially Eye of the Beholder overstay their welcome for what little they actually bring to the table in terms of interesting songwriting ideas and unique hooks, that are aplenty on the two albums that came out previously to AJFA.
