I love how he calls castration “getting rid of Steve and the boys”

When can we buy a 1:1 scale Lobifu plush with a “press my foot to say ‘I see no evil’” button 👀👀👀👀👀

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

I really hope you release a book telling the entire story, or even a short film. I would buy it all 🤘

[@tomastopolar8228]

Just a short film? I want to see this in a full length :D

[@coba3220]

With such a time gap between Ep.10 and Ep.11 I was almost certain that you guys would stop explaining the concept. I am really glad to be proven wrong!

[@column561]

We need to ban together and make a fan film on this story. Been thinking about it so much. The album is wicked, the story is wicked, I think physicaly watching it all play out would be phanomanal.

[@Bumblebee2006]

I have been thinking of adapting it as a fucked up comic one day.

Discovered this album through spotify Best spotify ad I've ever got

[@Bumblebee2006]

Cottonmouth’s the most brutal song on Matriphagy imo.

[@maaax2105]

Agreed, while most songs kind of give you a break or have melodic parts, cottonmouth is just 3 minutes of getting your head smashed against a wall and i love it

[@JaxonAndrea]

I’m just confused on a couple of things like how they survived in this house together for years. Surely tallah would’ve had to get food and stuff somehow no? My next question is also. Are they British due to the repetitious use of a British accent or was that obvious or something Idk. I love this story and I’m invested into it

[@saltaeyy]

That's exactly what I'm asking myself as well. We know that Kungan never left the house, but isn't underfed as Justin said in a previous episode. So Tallah must leave the house occasionally to get groceries

[@kaossthefox1912]

@@saltaeyy Unless she has friends to call upon for stuff like that. Otherwise, she does have the code and is therefore able to leave the house, so there's that.

[@saltaeyy]

@@kaossthefox1912 thing is how would her friends not know about Kungan then? Depending on how long she knows them? Or maybe they just leave the stuff at the door

[@Windsailor1777]

Why Kungan dont scape the house just jumping from the window?

[@tonethief3362]

Gotta give it to you guys, this might be one of my favorite albums of all time. I haven’t heard an album with his kind of emotion and groove in soooo long. Keep it up you guys, you’re going places 🤘🤘

[@isaiahhughes1304]

Theory(i feel kinda strong abt this one) : Lobifu is the collective physical manifestation of all of kungan's mental illnesses. think about it... Kungan and Lobifu disliked each other, but the sneaky son of a bitch, Justin described their relationship as symbiotic. (meaning they use the same body) As well, every negative thought besides the consumption of his mother came from Lobifu If Tallah could respond to this and tell me if im right on the target or far off, that would be great

[@Frinn]

i fvcking love this band in every way

[@hadenbledsoe4862]

Very curious as to what the next album will explore. I wonder if their is gonna be a new story with new characters, if Kungan will still be apart of the story, or If the next album is gonna be a concept at all

[@evanblake5252]

Such a deliciously twisted piece of the puzzle. Glad I'm finally getting around to these concept videos. Justin man you're a fucking evil genius. And a musical genius. And a not so evil genius outside of story telling.

[@RazvanStancut]

1 month later: still waiting to release the Murder Seed part.

[@crashhalo4]

I just love everything in this band, and man, this hole history is so sick and creepy, I love it.

[@Crypt0Ref]

So my interpretation of how the story ends in Red Light is that Kungan has obviously realized just how trapped he is. But the answer to how the cops find out what's going on and bust in I think are in the lyrics. There's a section where it sounds like someone knocks at the door and Kungan begins talking with a woman about all he's done, asking her not to leave. "She knocked twice, aye Hun, you gotta go Hun, you gotta go outside of this contraption No more action Accidents, infractions Doesn't match up Oh, hey, I thought it would be easy You better forget her She couldn't die without reason Go get an umbrella 'Cause it be raining hella' treason She' deader than dead But p-p-p-p-p-p-please don't go" If this is true, then a sane woman would be terrified, run away, and immediately call the authorities. Kungan doesn't like that decision and turns his anger to more murder, claiming to take the heads of other girls on the street, and then hide the remains of others under his bed. I'm not sure what to make of the chorus other than his realization that his race is at its end, yet he still wants to express his hatred that Tallah imbued by lashing out at others. Again, I'm not sure what thr Red Lights sections of the song mean other than maybe referencing when someone sees red and is in an uncontrollable fit of anger. I'm excited to hear more about Red Light once his concept explanation is released.

[@doctornagalli3321]

I can't wait to see what happens in Murder Seed. My theory is Kungan makes it all the way down the corridor and finds the door. And with his realization that he can't escape, he attempts suicide, judging by the line "It almost happened". But I have been wrong before

[@wolfy_with_a_y]

Well considering that Justin has already said that Kungan is talking to a Police officer about all of this, i dont think thats possible, though i definitely see how you got there!

[@doctornagalli3321]

@@wolfy_with_a_y a little adjustment to my theory, after Kungan realizes he can't escape and his SOS meant nothing, he returns in a blind rage and trashes the place. Then he attempts suicide, but fails, and is just left there in his own head.

[@matthewsidorovich8445]

So hyped for when you delve into Murder Seed, thanks for making these cool videos!

[@reidgowan2670]

No he just sewed up the hole

@@reidgowan2670 ah, good for him either way, a wound like that can kill you pretty easily

[@The_JustJoshing]

It’s finally here

[@musicman7098]

I think that I have a quick theory. In this point in the story I think that Labifu is the soul reason of Kungan’s drive to insanity. Especially when Justin said in episode 10 that Kungan’s vision of himself as a bunny was getting more deadly, I think this story has a lot to do with Labifu more than we think. In the next song (murder seed) I think Kungan realizes all the things Labifu made him do and ends up destroying him before he makes him do even worse things then he has already done.

[@loganwhite612]

This might be awful and completely off the mark, but the way Kungan talks about entertaining an audience in No One Should Read This and the constant mention of artists in Red Light makes me think that maybe Kungan knows that he’s a part of a fictional concept?
