The distorted bass + drums combo make this sound huge, so I didn’t miss other instruments in the overall picture. While you have great energy in the vocals, I can hear a lot of distorted kind of spitty mouth sounds in your esses that keep grabbing my attention as I listen, like “set of armor,” “bad excuse,” “its shadow,” “the beast.” I took the lyrics to be essentially about mental health, but I have not yet watched your "liner notes" video so perhaps I'm totally off. I didn’t really love the chorus lyrics, which just seemed kind of generic to me, but enjoyed the heel/heal bit at the end. This is competent, but not one of my favorite songs from you.
