It was complete structurally so it just needed a bit of a fine tune and it was in the bag. I&#8217;m really stoked the lads dug it and it made the record, I love playing it live. It has a real swing and swagger to it. Kinda makes me wanna dance like Snoop Dogg haha. I remember channelling some nine inch nails reptile into the seasick bending guitar layers over the intro riff&#8230; it gave this dark energy to it. I love the mood changes that layering can give an idea. Cruelty is about the damage a lack of empathy can cause.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SYNAESTHESIA has been an album five years in the making.
