So, I feel like maybe this one has possibly been a long time coming, but I didn't get around to playing the more recent Living World releases until I was quarantined.
The original track had this sort of classic thrash feel to it, so I wanted to bring it into a more modern era. My take on this track was heavily inspired by early-2000s metalcore and hardcore -- particularly acts like Haste The Day (especially the vocal style), Still Remains, and Zao. I did a lower growl-style vocal in an original draft, but decided to stick with a Jimmy Ryan-esque high vocal fry because it felt more "feral" and seemed to fit the overall tone of the cover better.
Now I'm thinking maybe I should do the others, release a little mini-album? We'll see.
