"The heavier electronic instrumentation and synth-work is expected, befitting the game's aesthetic, but it works well with LaPlante's delivery - she's in more of a pop-mode here - and blends seamlessly with the very Spiritbox-y guitar surges in the chorus. It's a very nu-metal treatment and an example of what the Canadian outfit might sound like if they fully sent it on a techno or electro-industrial project in the future."
"Astronoid - "Third Shot" On "Third Shot," Massachusetts post-metallers Astronoid meld their signature spaced-out textures and atmospherics with driving rhythms, prog guitar flourishes, and a decidedly pop element via the melodic, high-register vocals of Brett Boland - a very Coheed and Cambria-esque blend overall. The general sweep of the song is an uplifting one, the artistic reaction to the band members' suffering profound personal loss in the span since their last album."
Courtney LaPlante performs "Ties That Bind," the cinematic theme for Riot Games' 2v2 fighter 2XKO. Spiritbox bassist Josh Gilbert co-produced the techno-metal track, which combines heavier electronic instrumentation and synth-work with LaPlante's pop-leaning vocal delivery. The chorus features Spiritbox-style guitar surges and a nu-metal treatment that points toward a possible electro-industrial direction for the band. Astronoid's "Third Shot" fuses spaced-out textures, driving rhythms, prog guitar flourishes, and high-register pop vocals from Brett Boland, producing an uplifting response to recent personal losses. Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin preview Stygian Bough, Vol. II with "Waves Became The Sky."
