Because after just a few seconds of the opening track We are the endthat you each other HERE If you listen to it, it quickly becomes clear that although there are rap elements like in metalcore, they are processed and conveyed musically in a different way. Musically accompanied by modern beats, sings Enough Enough intensely from the end of the world. The whole thing embodies a vibe that lies somewhere between cloud rap and oomph.

Also Bodyhorror remains similarly emotional. This is where it shows above all Sobtzicks Talent as a producer.
