I was reading 'The Shortest History Of China'. This song is not about China. There was some proverb in it that I can't remember and can't be bothered to track down, but I inverted it somehow to make the first two lines and thus the rest of this tune came to be. True Story.
In life be a survivor,
There's plenty of time in death to be a courageous ghost x2
You better run for cover, cause nobody wins this war
You think you're a hero?
I hope to god you never have to know for sure.
But here's a toast.
To those who take a deep breathe,
Take a step back.
You can die another day
In life be a survivor,
There's plenty of time in death to be a courageous ghost x2
Lets all hide and seek out tomorrow
Lets all keep our heads on our necks
Nice and close to the ground, kid
Don't make a fucking sound, kid
Don't confuse or compare
The pen and the sword
Our history is written by winners
But nobody wins our wars..

Love the way the chorus slows down and gets more melodic; that winding bass line is really cool. "There's plenty of time in death to be a courageous ghost" is a cool line. A song about surviving, denying being brash or foolish. Good stuff.

Cool riff pounding away in the background. Makes the verses a very chaotic listen which then resolves marvelously into the chorus! Love our gravely vocals!

Massive! I love that riff that starts it out, it has some Tool vibes in the first section but switches into a more melodic vibe so that impression doesn’t last. I really like the “courageous ghost” lines!

“In life be a survivor,
There's plenty of time in death to be a courageous ghost“ is a great line. More awesome shredding in this. I’m gonna be honest and say I’m still not sold on metal but I always enjoy your way with a riff

That has some pace to it, love how big it sounds. How many bass drums kicks where in there? and then you add toms. Nicely done, look at you steaming ahead with 4 songs.

Killer guitars and bass! I like how this is fricking intense but melodic at the same time. The lyrics are really powerful, nicely carried by a compelling vocal work. Well done.

Hell ya! This came out super dope! Guitar sounds wonderful…interesting genre mash. Those harmonies are killer dude! This is bad ass…keeps getting cooler!

Great manic energy! I'd be curious to know what you did to the vocals here. They sound fundamentally interesting, and drew me in.
Good work! :)

FOUR!? "This song is not about China" - I figured that out when you said "die another day", it's about the best James Bond film right? I haven't seen it but I understand that's the consensus. That courageous ghost line is great, as is the superb outro chuggage.
