* SignatureMove: Torre creates a vocal killswitch effect by wagging the head of the microphone in front of his mouth.
--> So you do you; I be me! I be me so ''carelessly-y-y-y-y-y-y-y''!

Added DiffLines:

* ChromaKey: How superimposing Torre and Rocco into the footage used in ''Who's Gonna Be The GOAT?'' was achieved, as well as how the AI-graphics version of Torre was made; he was filmed walking in front of a green-screen first.


Added DiffLines:

* SelfDeprecation: ''Who's Gonna Be The GOAT?'' is full of this; effectively saying that someone else can take up the mantle of "the best in the world" at everything because Torre literally ''can't be bothered''; far more content to live the life he wants at his own pace.
--> You have a dream? I get sleep!
--> I guess the best of the best ain't me!

At the end of 2015 the band started gaining some international notoriety when they released the official clip for the song "Witch Doctor" off their third album ''I_CON''. The clip features Florim standing in the middle of a circle pit consisting of hundred motion-captured men. It went viral as soon as it was released and even got a shout out from {{Music/Motley Crue Tommy Lee}} on his Facebook-page. The band quickly followed that up with the release of their fourth full length album ''O''. The album gave them more international attention, including that of {{Music/Muse}}, who let the band be their supporting act for fourteen arena shows in Europe.
