What

What do you mean "why is this here"? It's here because he's the singer of this band. There's nothing confusing about it.

why are you here is the real question br0

You can hear the first demo version of it on their 2010 instrumental EP

Shart

give me money

@@EverForthright ill give 1 cent for every knob you turn

Pesto pasta

There’s definitely a remaster coming

There are theories. The most likely is, that Chris isn't interested or motivated to be a frontman anymore. Started back when he was with Monuments, a little after (maybe a few years) The Amanuensis dropped, Monuments were touring like crazy, and right before they headed out for an NA tour, we noticed Chris wasn't on stage in videos. The band and Chris never really addressed it. After that lots of fans feel like he phoned in his next release with Monuments. I would agree that it seemed like Chris didn't have that fire for writing anymore, or at least for what he was hearing at that time. No real answer, until the man addresses it himself. It's probably really mundane like he wants to be a regular guy and not a super popular performer anymore. There was one dude on Reddit who swears (he did post a picture of Chris mid-conversation at a family dining table) that he was in a serious relationship with his sister. Outside of the picture he didn't want to speak about his business.

His vocal range on monuments song "I, the destroyer" is still beautiful to me. I agree, really wish he was doing something even if it was just being a studio/session vocalist

@ThePurestMayhem the chris era of monuments is that of legend I swear. Phronesis doesn't get spoken about as much as it should. Amenuensis was dope in a different way. Like phro was deep and personal. Amen was just fucking heavy lol 😆

Fully agreed. He's unbelievable

Are you not aware he is our friend and we hang out…..?

Nope

@@EverForthright So what could be an alternative explanation for how Ever Forthright is apparently more popular than ever before, despite being dormant for over a decade?

​@@divinasi0n We think of the same thing too, and all we have is a guess/theory. From looking at analytics, our audience has doubled every year we were dormant (according to Spotify). Being dormant for 10+ years, we realized that the landscape of how music gets seen and heard is different. So this time around, we hired marketing and content consultants, including consultations from larger bands in the industry, to fill us in on what has changed and how things like KZbin, TikTok, and IG work these days. The old stuff we just dropped on a whim and didn’t promote-that worked back in the day but is a bit different now. Things like promoted videos are somewhat necessary in this position to get in front of people’s faces to let them know we’re back. That works well for someone in our position since we don’t have high algorithm power due to being dormant. The term "golden age" could be interpreted a few ways, but I’d say it refers to the early days when this sound was still emerging. These days the audience is much, much larger for sure, but it’s all about reaching them. Also, this era seems to be quite a bit about entertainment value. This video is so dumb and fun to watch, lmao. Also, this album has already sold much better than the last one (but yes, we’re still in hellaaaa debt). It could mean that it’s more "listenable" to a broader audience. Regarding view-to-comment ratio, we talk about this a bunch and realize there really isn’t much of a direct correlation when we compare lots of things, including side projects and friends' music. We try not to get too wrapped up in it all and just take it as it comes, but yeah, of course, theorizing it is fun. We'll never quite know, though. We're just in it for the fun since it's just a hobby and not a career. Hope that all makes sense.
