"If you are a rock fan or a fan of human made music, Order of the One is a MUST FOLLOW Their music hits hard, is full of meaning, and most importantly, it ROCKS 🎸"

"Thank you, OOTO... The track rocks! The instrumentation is solid and well coordinated, the riffs are epic, and the arrangement tells a great story. The lyrics hit me hard on a personal level. Back then, I avoided the shot, but wore the mask to go about my business. I despised my Self each time I put it on and I won't forget it. Even before the plan-demic, that "mask" took another form, masking my authentic Self. It's taken a long time to come to terms with that, and this track helped to cement it. But as the song goes, I'm working every new day to redeem my Self, to walk through that door once more, to become the here-o of my own story. Finally, I came across this playlist on Spotify - Greatest Metal Songs of All Time. There is a contact email for suggestions and I submitted "Masked Man" as a candidate for the playlist. I know streams aren't artist-friendly, hence why I'm answering the call to share in ownership of the song, but if it draws more attention to the track, all the better. I agree, great art needs patrons and I'm happy to support your efforts. Cheers"

"Absolutely epic! 🎸"

"OOTO is proof positive that the spirit of Rock and Roll is alive and well in America, despite the entire corporate industry actively trying to kill it for the past couple decades. The music makes this old man feel the same as I did as a kid in the 90's, when that spirit held sway and we knew we were alive. Long live Rock and Roll."

"What the fuck was that man? Holy crap bruh, instrumentation off it's absolute head. Well done man, I definitely get how that was anonymous to giving birth for sure. Loved it man. I loved the middle section with the keyboard breakdown. I loved the outro... epic bro, well done man."

"New favourite song! From none other than one of the first guests on Vocation, the blazing Matt Presti! Lyrics actually worth paying attention to. Rock on brother 💪"

“'Masked Man' conveys the dark but hopeful journey of a victim of psychological manipulation. Emotionally relatable and musically exciting, Order of the One executes this beautifully. Really well done!”

“Excellent impressive when others zig into AI you zag in the the qualities of the great bands of old, flawlessly orchestrated rock opera to be proud of. Great sound..unforgettable hooks..love it!”

"Bro! I just listened to this! This is what is needed. I love it. You on the 5 string bass? I read OOTO's bio. Connecting through University of Science & Philosophy (I also appreciate the monikers). So many wonderful changes in the song. Prog sound for sure! Also reminds me of Hypnos 69's album The Eclectic Measure which is based on Carl Jung’s "The Seven Sermons to the Dead." Finally, a band creating art through the Universal Soul! This is the change needed during a time when musical art has become systematically perverted."

"I listened to the song “Masked Man” recently released by Order Of The One. Matt Presti : this is a rock saga and a rock opera. I’ve listened to it on my phone. Today, I had it blasting through good speakers while in the shower. Holy smokes….. the guitars roared and then sang its own unspoken words. The vocals are truly beautiful and powerful. You can sing!!!!! The lyrics spoke to me. They tell an epic story. The story we all have inside of us. Some people will open the door and walk through the corridor…. It’s on my Apple playlist and my Spotify playlist! Now I understand why this masterpiece means so much to you. It is stunning. You and Rob Kainz transported me back in time, when skill and passion in music still mattered. Thank you for writing this. Thank you for recording it. Most importantly, thank you for sharing it with the world! 🔥❤️🔥"

"The long version (13') really cascades through changes. Great guitar work and vocals bring the new era of enlightened song-writing to life. Authentic and honest and rough-edged -- zero AI!"

"Matt is there anything you can't do? Just epic man it has it all and a bit more . Your vocals in my opinion are the best yet . Had it blasting for my drive to work this morning got me pumped for the day 👊 Congratulations to yourself and Rob 🎸"

"Your new project is astounding to say the least. I've sent it to a couple buddies who really enjoy it. I liked the transitions a lot—I think it really all fit well together."

"Shredding! I love it🤩"

"I can Honestly say that was really good, enjoyable & most importantly has a high enough replay value to add to a playlist, for me personally, my Metalcore playlist of bands (All That Remains, Killswitch Engage, Eidola, DreamShade, Any Given Day). Your other song "Wholly Trail" almost has an Anthrax sound with more modern metal elements added, that’s what grabbed me because that type of metal/rock was foreign to me until I first heard "Safe Home" by Anthrax, then I became a huge fan. But the Breakdown section of Black Swan, BRUH!! That sounded exactly like this Prog-Metal band i Used to listen to a lot called Vox Tempus. Quality Stuff Man! And I hear some elements of my currently favorite Prog-Metal Band Evergrey, so all around this sound feels at home to me. The Metal Scene Desperately needs Bands in alignment with Natural Law. I’m glad to see your Mind & Soul Manifesting through this genre of music & looking forward to see what else you guys come up with up. Keep up the Great Work!"

"Great work guys. This is definitely a tune I'll be cruising round in the car listening to."

"Bro - it's dope man. Production and instrumentation is top tier. This generally isn’t my style as you know, but appreciating the fuck out of it for sure. 🔥"
