Ari: These are Janne’s riffs, as you can tell by the time signatures. Kristian’s vocal melodies are awesome, I especially like the NWOBHM-tinged chorus, catchy as hell. Excellent message and lyrics as well. Kristian: People are doing things that enrich them now but will make their things very difficult in the future. This is about … More Trust Betrayal Revealed: Song of the Week 7 – Self-Backstabbers
