The sixth track of the album is Jacknife’s version of “Deadshot,” adding his wobbly sound and merging it with the track’s heavy dubstep energy. VLCN follows up with a reimagined take on “March of the Machine,” crafting an atmospheric illusion through modulating bass frequencies and intricate vocal chops.
