I just re-listened to it without watching the video, and, you are quite right, there is a warmth to the vocals. Maybe it is the sound of “hope”. Maybe these guys aren’t edgy edgelords edgier than the edge of a cut-throat nihilism razor? Maybe, heretically, they have lives outside of the steel arena of METAL? Oddly, listening to the Disco Inferno cover, there were passages where I found myself wishing it was rawer and more aggressive; to distance it more from the original.
