This album is the epitome of existential angst. The crushed human spirit trying to make peace with existence.

While folks of hundreds of years ago would read reassuring religious texts to cope with thoughts of death, have a nice life looks helps us listeners look death in the eye, and acknowledge it’s presence. Hence the album title

I took 8 grams of mushrooms and happened to fall into this album right as I was peaking. Suffice it to say, I had a very spiritual/ religous experience and it complimented the trip very well. I'm really happy that I found it. Thanks for the well thought out and thorough documentary. Well done.

This was beautifully done. Deathconsciousness is undoubtedly a piece of art that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

[@josh-rz3uq]

The booklet is absolutely a work of fiction, probably written by the band themselves.

[@boiledsheep]

the booklet was written by Dan. I find the writing a bit sloppy at times, but it's one of the most haunting piece of fiction I've ever read

[@foxferreira]

It's funny how I discovered Deathconsciousness. I was listening to some instrumental post-rock album that I can't even remember now, and since I was in bed, I fell asleep halfway through. Spotify has this Autoplay feature, which plays similar music after a playlist or album ends. Completely random post-rock songs start playing as I sleep, I have no idea what was playing, until Bloodhail came in through my headphones out of nowhere. The first seconds of the song hit me like a train, waking me up in a jump. I laid there in the dark, my eyes very slowly adjusting to the darkness, as I listen to this weird song that woke me up, even though I was still half awake half asleep, trying to understand what was even going on. I had lost notion of time and where I was even, since I was probably dreaming of something, and suddenly jolted because of Bloodhail's loud drums in the beginning. But the bassline and guitar riff grabbed my full attention, stopping me from pulling my headphones off to check the name of the song and band. Where am I? What's going on? "I feel the top of the roof come off, Kill everybody there." Did I fall asleep? What happened? "And I'm watching all the stars burn out Trying to pretend that I care" Quickly, I picked up my phone to check the name and band. "Wow" I thought. It was 4AM, but I didn't care. I absolutely HAD to listen to this whole thing. Hunter is my favourite song from it, Bloodhail holds that special place in my heart for waking me up like that, and Earthmover was like a strong gust of wind hitting my face when that post-rock explosion comes in. This album makes you feel things. It's mindblowing how literally anyone could have made this in production terms, it all comes down to the geniuses behind it.

[@DaRealChizzler]

the same thing happened to me, only except it was with a quick one

[@rubenkabir737]

@@DaRealChizzler yesss it came out of nowhere on Spotify radio Idek what song I was listening to but it was a sunny day back in July 2020 and sitting there listening to 8 mins of pure bliss took me to another plane of existence. It was astonishing finding out the rest of the album sounded nothing like the intro

[@yungtadomi8846]

The first time I heard deathconsciousness was last year, approximately at the same time during the beginning of spring. I was going through a phase where I know I have to change and something is changing in me but I didn't know how to relate to that and I was constantly following ideology more or less stupid and then I listen to Have a nice life, I can't describe how I felt this night with my headphones on and a low luminosity in my room it's like I was growing up inside and get a big breath of consciousness, everything seems to be clear to me. 1 year later I steal listening to eta and the feelings are the same it's a kind of truly love with this album, the love of somebody who's opened your eyes and make you realize that you are living and the outside world is huge and your imagination and the human history and psychology all of this shit are even bigger. Thanks you have a nice life

4 years late but your sound editing in this is genuinely better than 90% of documentaries out there. if you want a career in that you have an amazing start

On the same EP where lil peep used the Deathconsciousness sample he also used two different beats that sampled Giles Corey songs (M.O.S. samples Wound Wolf, and Come Around samples I’m Going to Do It)

[@rooftopsignals7313]

Really well done. I've been obsessed with the band for the last 8 years, and you presented this album as I would have wanted to be introduced to it. Hoping for more!

Deathconsciousness is an album that I just got into and yet it quickly rose to one of my favorite albums of all time u encountered it by a mix from Spotify. I first gave it a full listen when I went on a run, and as soon as it came on it started to rain, as I ran I just soaked up the album, and was obsessed by it

Deathconsciousness is one of a few albums I personally consider to be a truly transcendent work of art, and you have done a fantastic job analyzing it and the meta and paratexts surrounding it. Also, I live in Wellington and recognized some of the filming locations you used (I'm like 5 minutes away from the cemetery in the intro), so this video is literally very close to home.

I think this album particular might be something you’d enjoy. :)
