Songs lack structure and direction, it's like they spliced different jams together. The leads are shred wannabe and end up being a collection of very bland and annoying guitar tricks. Most parts are boring and you wonder when the music will move on.

The first video I've seen is a montage of live shots of the band plying and them on holidays, with a 80s tape filter on top. I kinda like the vibe, but this is becoming really overdone in the OSHM world, with no added value whatsoever. As always, they don't know how to hold a camera, frame a shot or what cinema is.

The second video I've seen is AI generated, which allows for very compelling and dream-like visuals, but unfortunately they have no sense of measure or focus either, the video tells nothing and is just a pack of random hallucinations. I kinda quit when a 2000's 3D T-rex is chasing a girl bikini. The picture of the bands playing in front of a huge crowd are also fake. I guess it's funny, and I'm impressed how fast technology is progressing, but why?

The mix is correct and purposefully dirty, but it can be much better even with this same aesthetic. As a conclusion, this band strikes me as being technically good and willing, but having no clue at all about what they're doing, and lacking direction. From now this is just another worthless product of this era.
