CharacteristicThey tend to play aggressively on the nuances of vocals, guitar, and drums (bass remains static.) With the touch of a dynamic, not hard or later, they still use the remarkable harmony and composition regularly. Call it the songs are slightly melow, such as Seize The Day and Dear God, his guitar still in the drop Dm as well as most metals. Then, in addition to composition and his trademark drop, Syn enter nuances sweep picking (arpeggio) in almost all his songs. The beauty of sweep picking, combined with chromatic, slides, and other techniques can we hear in the song The Wicked End. Also, do not forget to bring a touch of acoustic-like atmosphere in Hawaii, can we hear in the song Sidewinder. However, another characteristic that is never separated from them, menduetkan guitar Syn and Zacky, using double bass with a few tempo beat his times than usual.
