That's decent but still nowhere as good as any song in Incendiary.

This album seems to have similar production to By the Light of Their Destruction which I was not a fan of. The instruments sound really muddy making it hard to make out the riffs which is a shame because Chuck Keller is a killer guitarist. By contrast, I think the vocals sound great here. I'm a huge fan of Ares Kingdom so hopefully this album will grow on me.
Personally I like the production. It's different to some of their older stuff but it's a good kind of different. I don't really have any trouble hearing the riffs on the two tracks they've released.
Agreed that the vocals are absolutely savage here.
