[@leonhoffmann9403]

I cannot put my feelings into words. This is just utterly amazing music. Blastbeats, growls, insane screams and beuatiful cleans mixed with post rock. It's like Alcest with technical/progressive death.

[@KardashevBand]

Wow. That's literally the perfect way to perceive our intent. Thank you so much for your kindness and comparison to Alcest. :D

It's only a matter of time. I just discovered them recently. I'm super late to the party. This is music the world has been missing.

[@stevenwestfall7638]

The amount of people this music touches....in the long run doesn't matter. For those of us this music has touched though....it will never leave us. A year ago I found this band and I must say I want this song played at my funeral. It conveys me(who I am) in so many ways..I would love for this band to speak for me to my loved ones as they say goodbye. Peace my friend...

[@jaygreene1525]

I deal with pretty crippling anxiety, and this album is lately one of the only things that makes me feel like everything's going to be OK. Such an amazing gift.

[@KardashevBand]

Jay, please accept our gift. It can't fix everything, but if only a moment; maybe a moment is all we need. With love, Kardashev.

"All things that I have lost I can now find again." ;-) Thanks guys.

[@markgarrett7428]

Well I'm SUPER late to this comment but I wanted to hop into the discussion anyway :) When I wrote that line, "All things....", I was comforting myself through a period of the worst depression and anxiety that I've ever gone through. It helped me a lot to write those lyrics, but its even more awesome knowing it helped you out in the same way. Anxiety is tough, but we're tougher

[@AlexanderPochertPiano]

[@localsymbiosis]

It almost doesnt work for me... but you managed to pull it off pretty well in some parts..... it is a fine line for me though, so many bands are getting kind of a clean vocal boy band feel to them and I cant stand it. I love this album and all of you music, but it is delicate terrain in my opinion. I like the ambient, emotional side of it though.

I was enjoying this album. It was nice. Like a solid 7 or 8/10. (which isn't necessarily to say it is, I just had it on in the background and wasn't paying too much attention) BUT. THAT FINAL TRACK. HOLY FUCKEN SMOKES. That shit hit me like a rocket-propelled brick to the jaw. And usually when that happens I listen back and find way more of the album to love, so I'm gonna do that, but damn, what a finale to grab me by the throat. Yep, sure enough, I was too in the zone and hadn't been listening properly. What a fantastic album, although that final track is still a real showstopper. I'm glad it hooked into me enough to get me to pay attention to the rest too. Fantastic work on this. Tomorrow is binge time, methinks. Thank you for making this beauty.
