Two Beasts

Vocals

Nice deep growl. You can't make it out, but that isn't uncommon. Very drawn out at times, which is not really my thing.

Music

The music is different. The drums are pretty hard-hitting, but few and far between at times. I feel mixed about it. I am not big into highly drawn out music if it isn't attention-grabbing or atmospheric throughout. It had its moments, but at times just became noise that I zoned out of really listening to. It certainly wasn't predictable, such as at 6:15 and 11:20. It feels sometimes relaxing, and other times quite repetitive, and a little irritating (such as around 11:00 and 12:20). It was an experience. No joke - I felt an intense feeling like I needed to just nap for 5 or 10 minutes after hearing this.

Lyrics

I couldn't find the full lyrics for this song, but here are some parts with lots of missing lines. I don't know for sure what is going on since so much can be missed in a sentence or two.

It seems to be an internal struggle with yourself. The title makes me think of two parts of you that don't agree, or things that are fighting against each other.

Thrown to the ground.

forgive me

I sought to slay myself

Hearts are broken
