    ОБОЖАЮ Orbit Culture, но что они за постную херь выпустили в этом году?! 😒 I couldn’t believe my ears. If you want to listen to a band that sounds like Orbit Culture but better, listen to AYAR! 😌

    You mentioned the production on Tipping Point, it is very good, but Dave's vocals in the first half of the song just really don't sit in the mix, they're just… out there on their own, something is off and I can't put my finger on it… like they've been redone after the mix has been mastered or something 🤔

    I don't agree that it sounds like early Megadeth. It does sound like early thrash. This is more along the lines of Endgame and songs like ' This Day We Fight" or " Head Crusher." Or tracks off the last two albums, especially as far as production goes. Early Megadeth was more a mix of punk, new wave of British heavy metal and jazz fusion elements into a thrash package. This is much heavier and straight forward than most tracks off of those early albums, to me. Of course, it's just my opinion, no need to get mad at it.
