    Dear Veil of Maya; if you ever need a replacement singer, Gerard's obviously your man. Or if you're up for a female singer, Lauren's obviously absolutely fantastic.

    Holy shit, this is amazing. That scream at 2:14 was INSANE! I'm glad you finally covered this one, and Gerard's vocals were spot on. I love the powermetal-ish sound at the end of the chorus. Definitely a killer note.

    Before me there stands an opportunity
    There for the taking In this moment - this exact moment
    I shall prepare myself
    To face a monster of which only I may conquer
    Conjure the power bestowed upon our souls
    Conjure the power
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    Which lies below me
    Staring back at a helpless man
    I've done all I can
    It lies in the hands of those who seek a voice soaring above the rest
    Built from the ground
    Forming scratches upon the surface
    We survive in wretched of times
    We survive in wretched of times
    Conjure the power
    We survive in wretched of times
    Conjure the power
    We survive
    And we thrive in the most wretched of times
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    I've done all I can
    I've done all I can
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    Align the stones to form a message in the sand
    I will never relinquish
    It is written in the sand
    I've done all I can

      They'd both do an amazing cover of either Sleeper or Efflorescent

    His neck veins though 😂 great cover though. It's nice seeing people cover things that I can't do already. I have more of a... mellow tone I guess you can say

    You know you're job is done when you can cover Veil of Maya with the clean vocals , the screams and the guitar ... You're both very talented.

    I really LOVE this cover,
    but I kinda enjoy it more when I don't look at the video because their facial expressions are so calm, while I look like I'm gonna murder someone when I sing/scream along lol

    I love the duet you both have going on this song. It is amazing the range you both show in this song alone. Clean voice to Catastrophic Cacophony. You are both well ahead of the curve on bringing high energy and definitive vocals to the game. Cheers!
