One aspect that stood out to me was the band's exceptional creativity and composition skills. Not every band can craft such intelligent and meaningful compositions.
The song opens with galloping guitar riffs reminiscent of thrash bands from the '90s—a sound that instantly resonates with fans. However, the collective goes beyond mere vocal melodies or a few guitar riffs. They expertly weave these elements together, creating a cohesive and magnificent piece of work.

As previously mentioned, 'Cult of the Mountain' boasts top-class technical standards in every aspect. The production is nothing short of monstrous. The guitars unleash raw power, and the vocals are impeccably polished. The overall sound is clean, clear, and natural, with excellent balance, mixing, and mastering. Vela is on the right path to forging their authentic sound, one that will set them apart in the metal realm. The band possesses an array of exceptional qualities within their music. Once they solidify their distinct musical identity, Vela will be unstoppable in their ascent to the top.
