      Its the composition, the structure, each note, each timing, each instrument, blending, supporting, introducing each other.
      And then there is that bass guitar, like the Northern Star, shining madly regardless of the time of night.

      Funny enough this is also the first track with Martino's writing, so it's a definite sign that they didn't loose with the departure of Cygnus. Martino incorporated his own style but we can still hear it's NeO.

      I think people on their phones/using their speakers have problems with the mixing because I think the bass on a certain section would be on one side of their headphone and the guitars were on the other side of their headphones
      idk I havent listened to this with my headphones yet but thats the most reasonable thing I can think of

    First!
    Also it is my first time seing this Video!
    So I agree Birb I also felt like there were parts that could have been trimmed but when you're vibing it's not too much if a deal for me personally. Love the Basswork in this Song. I mean the focus on the cleans is kinda different than their other Songs but yea its not very different sound from them vut it's a great Song from them and that's all I can hope for. When your Sound is this distinctable from other Bands I'm ok with not going overboard with doing something different as long as it's good and imo this is supersolid!
    Thx Birb for reacting to this know you made my Day😊🤘

      Sometimes I feel we get stuck on a band evolving and doing something different. To me, NeO has carved out their own sound and with this song have really just created a beautiful emotional piece evoking the image of the fires in Australia. I think they capture this perfectly.

    I love NeO, but they've been usurped for me by last year's surprise contender Windfaerer. Some of the most masterful inclusion of violin in metal I've ever heard, the standout track 'Depletion' literally has a minute long violin solo near the end and it's mind-blowing. Can't recommend it enough, it's breathtaking.
