Noah, I’m not a fan of post-hardcore, but I’d definitely like some heavier and darker influence on the next album. They used a lot of Scandinavian death/black metal influences on Waking the Fallen, I want some of that back.
Imagine having a 10 minute epic song with thrashy riffs, epic melodies, and black metal-style passages with screaming vocals and blast beats, all mixed in this prog metal soup. Matt would still be clean singing for the most part, but at least a bit of that darkness would be fucking incredible haha.
I’ll never stop dreaming about an A7X album like that ahhh…
