I like it a lot.
Likes: Bloodrust and
My Identity allow the band’s sound the breathing room to come across very nicely. They are what's doing.
Vocals are powerful and dead on radio ready. The guitar player adds a nice and needed outer dimension with the leads and solos. Great riff in
Bloodrust too.
Dislikes: Wasting as the 1st track is a distraction in shades of Alice in chains.
If it were the 3rd cut, I might feel different. It’s not a bad song, but i fear every 3rd person saying “You guys sound like Alice in chains.”
The overall sound (Recording/Mix wise) is crying out for a punchier, more dynamic mix that allows for individuality to the various parts that make up the whole.
If you don’t get what I mean, check out
Vib Gyor “The Secret” (Which incidentally has a video made with 1 Bolex, 1 light and 1 location) and consider how each instrument is its own “character” in the mix. I’m not making a comparison between the two bands or styles, but pointing out the elements of each mix.

I think
Fear Report is musically very worthwhile, and with the right hook and mix could roll large core.
-Thanks-
