Most of the dudes in this picture have gaming youtube channels
Additional details have yet to be revealed, but it is believed that bass, then drums, and finally vocals will be recorded next. The album is expected to then be mixed and mastered before being released to the general public. hey stupid, you usually record drums BEFORE bass
I can't wait to have another record to put me to sleep within the first 2 songs. Band is boring as shit now
people who still want this band to be metal are 29k a year fats
"hey stupid, you usually record drums BEFORE bass" Hey, moron, read post #2.
A thousand open ears and still not a word to say. This band abandoned the genre that and the fans that made them popular just so they could sound like 311 with theory knowledge. This progressive noodling fest and boring ass drawn out passages only serves the egos of the musicians in the band. f*ck yall.
Good bands only record all together at once
Do people that comment here like anything, ever? I know for me personally, I exclusively listen to a metronome set at 98 bpm in 5/4.
Exoplanet was great. However they always came across those dorks who play metal but were supposedly "above" just metal so instead they make lame pop rock now
Don't know what you dinks are complaining about! This is great news and long overdue too! Should be one of 2022's best if it is like the last few releases.
Good god if this isn't a huge wank fest in this comment section. F* all of you. Who cares what genre they write, who cares how long it takes them to do it. Either enjoy the music, or don't. You're not a good critic if you cling to bias. A good critic looks at a musical work independently of outside influence, then forms an opinion. I haven't been a fan of the new works of TC, but see potential in the new direction. They just revamped nearly the entire lineup of the band, while the core members try to reestablish the identity. That's game ending stuff. The fact that they are back in the studio is good news, and as a previous or present fan, you should listen with open ears to the next record. Remember, expectation is the thief of joy.
Ya'll need to chill and find better things to worry about. If it aint ya cup of tea, don't drink it.
just wanna counter all the negativity in these comments and say that I really like this band and can't wait to hear more from them
