SIGHTLESS PIT IS BACK AND THEY'RE DOING RAP METAL?

Never any call for a lone wolf
So you had to become a crow
Now you can't stand to see scarecrows
Because you've been transformed into crows

One wonders how the people that developed 4k/60fps upscaling didn't just look at the first result, think "ew no" and put it back where it came from
