While the band shows strong aggressive elements, especially in beatdown tracks like 'BLK' and 'TWR,' the overall album feels experimental and somewhat unfocused. The melodic vocals add an unexpected layer, but the range of styles sometimes creates an uncertain final impression. Despite imperfections, the band’s potential shines through its raw energy. Explore One Shall Stand’s intense and experimental metalcore sounds—listen now and discover their unique blend!

 "The biggest limitation of the tracks on 'Life' is sounds that often aren’t up to par."

 "Giorgia Albanesi’s good vocal performance gives that extra touch to a band that will soon need to find that gear for a qualitative leap."
