Scott,
First off, a terrific video . . . really well done. But the song is still the star, haunting . . . Robert’s vocals might be the best I’ve heard from him . . . just fits the song so well. Love that driving drum . . . and of course the lead guitar work. Just a super cool song! Well done, fellas.
My best to you both,
Deej

"Nisi tenebris" confused me - that along with the intro harmonies was a bit distracting but once your guitar got a chance to open up it was a cool thing.
The vocal dissonance was well placed to give things an uncomfortable edge.
I enjoyed the constant thump of the toms on the left - very martial.
I'd have liked you outro solo to carry on a bar or so after the backing and get gnarly.
Good mix and good song.
Cheers

Dark and haunting ... I like this combination, and your video supports it really well.
Unusual, interesting - but both in a positive way!

Hi Scott and Robert.
This audio-visual creation really taps into the psyche and the imagination.
The production is haunting and, at times, I even found it quite spooky, and the clever, thoughtful lyrics amplify these aspects well.
It's a credit to you both that you can write such emotive works.
Impressive work!

Both the vocals and guitar nailed that eerie sound.
Not entirely sure of the meaning of the lyrics, but still...
Spooky.

Scott and Robert, the only thing I can say is I freaking loved this one!
I am a big sci-fi and fantasy books and movies guy so this song was right up my alley.
In fact I think this song could be made into a movie.
Great vocal, vocal effects, backing band, mix, and video.
I freaking loved this one!

Haunting and disturbing video. Excellent work on the video and song.
I echo what Floyd said about this being your best guitar work. Your part brings the song to another level.
Cool, edgy sound. I love the title. So appropriate for these times.

Scott & Robert,
Really cool!
Very difficult lyrics, a melody that sounds like a spell or a prayer, strange visuals, and the addition of Robert's vocals and Scott's guitar make this a truly unique piece. It's a great collaboration.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.

Ray, Bob, Marty, Peter, DC Ron, Laurent. Thanks so much for checking out the song and commenting.
I too was amazed at the video that Robert created for this song. When we are arranging the song I am more focused on the music and complementing on the musicality of Roberts vocals. Since we have started releasing videos with our songs I have really become attached to the lyrics. After Robert sent the first draft of the video I was just stunned and speechless. I forgot about the technical side of the music and video and was totally drawn in by the message. I am so glad you like the music and video.

Dark! Janice said this made her think of novels set in the dark ages of Medieval times as well as those set in the dark post apocalyptic future. Yikes.
The audio and video reflected that feeling very well.
Robert’s haunting vocals and your excellent guitar, Scott, were in the pocket on this one for sure.
The excellent mix set up a cool soundstage on the monitors.
Kudos!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
