Pashang 爬上 Absolutely phenomenal album from start to finish, full of 40k vibes, heavy-as-fuck guitars, and exceedingly cool processes vocal sounds from the most grimdark corners of the universe. A must-own for any fans of argent metal, dark cinematic vibes, and storytelling through sound. Favorite track: On The Edge Of My Ability (Chant of Focus).

jketch I liked this album so much that after buying it I put it on a custom tape cassette for my physical collection Favorite track: I Swear To Protect (Chant of Trust).

Saros Found it on a lark on youtube, helps me write So So much and goes incredibly hard Favorite track: Not A Heart, But An Engine.

IAmRevEvil fun album.

3/4 Favorite track: Styx Floods With Souls.

SplingyDude EXTREME CAUTION:

LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE CAN AND WILL LEAD TO WHAT IS KNOWN AS A KUNDALINI AWAKENING. WITHOUT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE TRANSCENDANCE OF SPACE, TIME, AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE SUPREME WHITE EXPANSE WILL LITERALLY MELT YOUR FUCKING BRAIN.

THAT IS TO SAY, THIS ALBUM IS LITERALLY BRAINMELTINGLY-GOOD. Favorite track: Not A Heart, But An Engine.

about

And we force our creations upon one another, as we have long lost control.

In honor of our beloved man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
This project was inspired by many different things, all with a certain connection to machines, artificial intelligence and, of course, violence. But also what it means to be human, to love, to hate, to hope and to sacrifice. Warhammer 40k first and foremost, but also Ultrakill, Metroid, Made in Abyss, and even Helldivers to some extend. Not to mention several smaller pieces of media I came across over the last few months. With this one I tried to innovate more and build upon what I've learned with Gun Knight and Tumatauenga. I also encountered several writers blocks while working on this, which lead me to reworking my process on how I approach music several times.
