There being no intent to be warm and intimate just let it work with those crunchy guitars as it well does.
Nice guitar performance and a cool baseline also.
And we enjoyed the light show!
Fun production...

JnB,
Thanks.
Yes, odd ones out, almost. Most ears prefer vocals set as the focus, pop and ballads have trained us for that. You're right in that it's often a stylistic choice to have the vocal at a level that requires a little effort or imagination to discern the narrative.
In this track the narrative is a very short biography unlikely to be noted by most folk and, in truth, of little consequence. Some "in" jokes and a ghoulish tendency on my part. The video actually tells the story rather better.
Thanks for understanding.







Cheers
