Easily best track I've heard so far.

The first track I've heard that has hard hitting textures and tones. The only one so far that I would hold up to their previous work.

Sounds like cello in this song. I just really love the sound of this one. What a tone setter!

I'm really liking that distorted drone bass. they have definitely changed their sound.

Yes, it was reminiscent of Apocalyptica in places but I only listened to 10 seconds so don't shoot the messenger

I feel like wild life analysis fits more on geo and ready lets go should be in MHTRTC... But thats just me..
Anywho, i liked it. Only heard a 10 sec sample and its awesome! Very nice.

I just had a listen for it (rather, listening to it) for the purpose of this thread.

Wow.

It's very...dystopian. The jarring, dark synths are the pure definition of drone. O God, that's lovely.
Yeah, it gets my approval for a great drone piece. I could see it being used in a movie, too. It is great.
It's a very powerful song.
My expectations are being raised.

The resonance of the jarring synth in the former half of the song remind me of a little song/test/whatever I did on an Alesis Micron synth one night. Really sounds similar to it.

I will be SO upset if that little 5 second fanfare in the beginning isn't actually a part of the song!

Yeah, and it comes out of nowhere.

While we're talking drone, Cold Earth?

I'm right there with you on THAT, dude.

All the track by tracks have mentioned it, so I think it's there. Such a cool start to the album.

Great! I've avoided the track-by-track articles...I'm not usually the type to ignore such HUGE BoC news, but I want to go into this album without opinions from a reviewer. Once it's out, I'll give it a read..if I can hold out that long!

Oops sorry, I didn't mean to spoil you

I tried to hold out on the track by tracks too, but ah, you see how well that worked out for me.

That's OK! Hardly a spoiler

The next two weeks will be taxing though..that's for sure!

Ok just listened to it for the last time til the album comes out. This song is fucking amazing. I can't wait to hear it in high quality. So glad I decided to get new headphones.

like the soundtrack to been chased through those desert hills by the cannibals this one.
just listened to it again on that ustream, its scary.
