Vocals

There is certainly an intensity to his vocal, and some variety. He went several places with it. I think his voice will be quite recognizable.

Music

The music seems somewhat upbeat, especially on the into and the chorus. The guitar stands out to me. I was a little on the fence about this one, but I think I would enjoy hearing it again. I think I wasn't sure because it sounds upbeat (can't have that, lol), but it has enough harshness in the vocal to pull through for me.

Lyrics

I am not sure about these lyrics, but it seems like this person feels he doesn't have much control over his own life, and even like it is others that control it. Maybe that there are very few in control. Most people are being ruled, or falling victim to circumstance.

Their hunger never ends
Hateful design builds the structure divine
A territory cold as ice
An endless empire with cynic desire
Born of a broken spell

Feeling like a guttersnipe standing in line
Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice
One will stand another will fall down
Find your way out from the constant lack
Find your way out from the constant lack
