The Bellerophon Project - Hydra [Instrumental Tech Metal]

These two blokes came out with an EP way back. No vocals just a couple sick technical death metal instrumentals. I just remembered them today and looked them up, and it turns out they rereleased the song above (my favorite of theirs) with vocals here: https://youtu.be/r1cQ6asV9oQ?si=nlHmFQtGtz7s8_Fn but I dunno, I still much prefer the original instrumental and how it was mixed compared to the new version, which do you guys like better?
